Il sole è brillante e il cielo è molto blu. (The sun is brilliant and sky is very blue.) Fa molto caldo qui. (It is very hot here.)


I had my colazione (breakfast) of diet coke and pizza while working on the web site.  Notice the thin pizza. It takes about 2 hours to create, organize and publish the site each day but we love doing it.


Abbiamo camminato le mura. (We walked the wall.)


Siamo andati a VispaTeresa per il pranzo. (We went to VispaTeresa for lunch.) L'osteria è molto piccola. (The osteria is very small.) This year we heard it was under new ownership but when walking by the osteria I noticed the same cook there so we are trying it. Menu only in Italian and handwritten - those are great signs. We find foods here that are not in other eating-places. Dow ordered the egg and truffles. OMG! A combination made in heaven.


Went out for a gelato later in the day and came upon a dance school performance.  Watched that for a while then walked some more.  Later, in another piazza, they were setting up for an outside concert – the Filarmonica “Giacomo Puccini” with a tenor and a soprano. Waited 45 minutes for it to start, and then it lasted an hour and a half – great music and singing.


Drinks and food on the patio later.
