Western Europe: Italy (part 4)

Hey kids!

My kingdom for a hamburger. The first thing I'm doing when I get home is going to Scotty P's for a great American greasy hamburger. I love the food here, but how's a brother to get some real animal protein up in this country? I'm carb'ed out.

Currently, I'm in Monterosso, which is in the area known as Cinque Terre (a.k.a. the Italian Riviera). This area is attributed to inventing pesto and foccacia bread. The restaurant we had dinner at last night gave us a demonstration on how to make pesto with a mortar and pestle. I'm totally making it when I get home.

Today has been relaxing. Our tour guide mentioned that this would be our vacation from our vacation. So far, I've slept till noon, had lunch, walked on the beach, picked up my laundry, hit a Bancomat (ATM), and took several needed naps. I feel recharged. After walking 5 to 8 miles a day, its nice not to have to do any physical activity.

Well, I'm about to head out and meet some folks at the bar down the street. So until next time...

Good times!!!

Well, good to hear you have gotten a few naps in, but it's not the same without the history channel, eh? Lucy says "ruff" and she misses you.

I'm so envious! I can't wait to see your pics when you get back. In the meantime Rod, friend Bridget and I have painted our dining room & trim. We are having exciting times too :)

I didn't know it was possible to have too much carbs.

Love,

Carolyn

Just want to let you know that a few residents at Cornerstone are enjoying your blog. I bring updates when I go to work on Friday and Saturday. Some have said you should become a writer. They like the humor you inject (as do I)
Love

By the way, I'm probably responsible for one or two anonymous comments. Particularly the one that accused you of being holed up in some hotel in NYC.
