Beach

Amazingly relaxing day, and well needed. 

The most stressful thing that occurred today was the maid barging into our room around 9 o’clock.  Kelly fell back asleep and I parked myself out on the terrace to write a bit.  Around 12, we made our way down to get some lunch and head to the beach.  The restaurant swiped my debit card four times and told me it didn’t work.  That makes me nervous.  I want to check my statement and see if they stole anything.  

My TD Bank card is the new laser printer kind.  It’s completely flat.  When I first got it, it almost looked like a novelty.  I guess they can’t imprint your card - I don’t know.

We arrived at the beach, about a 3 minute walk.  There were colorful umbrellas and chairs.  The left side, separated by a plank, was the lowly public beach.  A small sliver designated for the less fortunate and frugal.  We scoped out some real estate and plunked down.  The black, sort of pebbly sand burnt our hooves.  I woke up from my nap nearly about to pass out from dehydration.  I found a gelateria and that cooled me down.  The water was a bit cooler then Capri and the sand was great.  

I took a relaxing bath in the afternoon.  For dinner, we ate in the the smaller square.  It was OK.  Towards the end of our meal, USA vs. England was on.  We couldn’t quite see from our angle so when English scored, I accidently cheered.  We headed back to the hotel bar which was dead but had a large flat screen to watch the game.  Unfortunately - i fell asleep while watching.  We went back to our room before the conclusion.  Italia’s game tomorrow should be more livlely

Roma tomorrow !
