Saturday, September 29, 2012:

Today was another day of rest as the temperature high today was 93 degrees occurring before noon!! We did get some nice "siesta time" however.   

We went out this morning to go down to the little store in town to get some groceries, wine, and of course a gelato...  

I did have an interesting incident while at the store however.  I was standing at the front of the gelato stand taking a picture of the ice cream when he started yelling in Italian and pointing at me.  I thought he was upset at me taking a picture of his ice cream stand when I happened to look down at the floor behind me and realized I was inches from falling into a 4'x4' opening in the floor to a crawl space below.  It would have done some serious damage had I stepped back another 3".  


The picture of the gelato stand that I was taking when the owner started yelling. Sorry for the flashback but I was too shook up to take another shot.

The little store by our apartment.  You will notice it has a beer tap on the counter as well as liquor and miscellaneous groceries.

Another good example of the traffic.  The bus is stopped because they cannot get past the white van that is stopped because someone in front of them is stopped in the lane while he goes into the store. This stop did result in heavy horn honking.


It looks like we are in for a turn in the weather as some clouds and a little breeze has come up.  About 10 degrees cooler will be nice!


Sorry, but not many new views in today's report, so I  am back to the bridge table!
