R and R










Today we decided that we would relax and take it easy. We are half way through our trip and we wanted to make sure that we not only saw the sights, but also took time to relax. We sat for over an hour outside our hotel (see picture) where we watched the locals go up and down the street and ate the lunch that comes FREE every day with our hotel! I love free stuff!


We also went and got gelatto (a wonderful desert that they seem to have on every corner. Here I am buying my favorite, chocolate chip! It is a great treat and a wonderful way to beat the heat.



Our rest and relaxation day has been nice becuase it has been slightly overcast - a great break from the heat and a little reminder of home.



George also got to take out the bike today that the hotel has. He has loved being able to ride around the town and I enjoy the time to "blog."
