This is our 3rd day and our hosts Elizabeth, Pierpaolo and Chris have left for Rome to fly to the US, we are now officially on our own. We had a great dinner last night outside in the garden with Pierpaolo's mother, aunt and two cousins, the highlight of the meal was fresh egg pasta with tiny little clams sauteed with garlic and olive oil, they came right from the beach yesterday morning. The walled small city is quite now that its the mid afternoon and nothing is open, everyone has had lunch and is napping or relaxing. We managed to go to the market and buy fresh fruit and vegetables and came back to make lunch. The beach is absolutely beautiful, light sand, no seaweed and perfect temperature. They did loose our luggage and until tomorrow we are living in the few things we have, its fine.... we're in Italy.
