     Ci siamo alzato alle 9:30. Dodici ore di sonno. Abbiamo fatto bisogno il resto. (We got up at 9:30. We needed the rest.) Dopo il caffè al nostro B&B abbiamo comprato i biglietti per autobus  e abbiamo preso il autobus al pizzale Michalengelo. (After coffee at our B&B we bought bus tickets and took the bus to Pizzale Michelangelo.) La vista è stata bellissima e c'è stato un festival di gelato. (I gusti in gara)  Abbiamo comprato i biglietti a mangiare ventidue gelati.  (The view was beautiful and there was a gelato festival (competing flavors) so we bought tickets to eat 22 gelato.). Fa caldo qui e il sole è brillante. Buon buonissimo per il festival. (It is hot here and the sun is brillant. Good timing for the festival.) Siamo tornati a piedi. (We walked back)

     Per la cena abbiamo mangiato al ristorante La Bucca di Leone. (For dinner we ate at restaurant La Bucca di Leone). Piccalo ma molto buono. (Small but very good). The food was delicious. The pasta with fresh truffles was out of this world. It was so good to taste  octopus again.
