10:45 pm

We are sitting in bed after a relaxing day. We really didn’t do much at all. We got up and went to the bus stop and waited for the 10am bus to Vieste. About 10:30, we figured the busses didn’t run on Sunday so we checked back into our cheap hotel. Then we sat in the park next to our hotel for a while and journaled and talked. Afterwards we walked around and found lunch. It was a bit frustrating because almost everything was closed. Finally, we ended up at this place by the sea that didn’t have printed menu. But they would sell us the tourist platter for $15. Yah, we didn’t like that too much so we just ordered a cheese pizza. Even then, they wouldn’t tell us how much it was. It ended up being $5.50 so it wasn’t bad, but still… we came back to the room and at the pizza and then napped. I got up about 5:30 and sat in the park and wrote some more. Then we went down to the beach and played in the water for about 2 hours. I played the part of the dwarf and dug pits in the sand looking for shells. Bwige just sat by and watched, amused at my normal antics. The good part was we both took off our rings as to not repeat our honeymoon episode (aka so I don’t lose the symbol of our marriage). We walked around for a while afterwards and moseyed back here and showered and then went out for dinner. DINNER WAS REDICULOUSLY CHEAP! $3 for both of us! We got some pizza like things at a bar. One cheesy puffy thing that looked like a calazone, one piece of normal pizza, and something else that looked like a pepperoni roll but ended up being hotdogs wrapped with a kinda thousand island sauce. Not great, but not terrible either. Then we both got gelato w/ 3 flavors. Yum yum. I got 2 chocolates and a rum flavor. Bwige got mango/peach, fruit, and watermelon. Yum yum. Then we were wandering in and out of stores and saw this chocolate ball thingies… although we were full from the previous yummies, we got one anyway. It was coffee ice cream covered in a thick chocolate shell. Yum. Tonight was a sugur/carb overload! But that’s ok, we are in Italy! Yah. OK, time for all good fluffys to go to bed. See ya later.
