Still full from lunch

Well they say you eat well in Italy, and they weren't kidding! We have yet to have a bad meal in this place...anywhere. It seems like every town you go to has a pizzaria open with loads of excellent tasting pizza - and if that isn't what you fancy, you can find some wickedly tasty pasta dishes with seafood, or a variety of great antipasti (appetizers). We went to this place last night that had the most amazing selection of antipasti...and about half of the ones I loaded on our plate were filled with CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSEEE! If you like cheese...you must come to Italy. The choices and flavor are unbelievable. Oh...and did I mention wine is cheaper than water? You can buy 5L of wine here for less than 5 Euro. Not exactly a bad deal.

the other thing we've been doing a lot of is...nothing. and it's been great! Life is a lot slower here than any place we've been to, but it provides for some great down time and relaxation. The beaches here are huge...and there are very few people on them...even for august which is the start of the Italians' holidays. So between eating, going to the beach, eating again, and having loads of gelato...life's been pretty good. Good times!

I'll try to load up a few pictures in a few days, but being that we are on Italian time, don't expect them right away. We'll get to it, when we get to it ; )

Next stop...Sicily

ciao
