UN GIORNO PER RILASSARSI

Exhausted from traveling for four weeks, we decided we needed a day to just relax. We slept in until we woke up, then went down to the little market in the hotel for breakfast. There wasn't much in the way of breakfast, and it was getting close to lunch time. Instead of a full breakfast, we grabbed some snacks and headed down to explore town. It's a small town, which reminds us of Niwot. I couple of little clothing stores, a mini market, and restaurants. In one of the stores, there was a guy making hand-made sandals. Walking down toward the public beach, we realized just how packed it was. Lots of people lined up in beach chairs and swimming.

We walked as far as we could, then decided it was time for lunch. There was a cute restaurant on the water that we went to. I, of course, got gnocchi and pineapple. Just like San Sebastian, when you find something you like, you stick to it. Last night's was better, but this wasn't bad. A large group of people came in just after us, all speaking Italian. We think they came over as a group on a boat, which is similar to what we will be doing tomorrow on Capri.

On our way back to our bungalow, we stopped at the mini market for some fruit and snacks. Joey and I then opted for a low key day of reading in the hotel's wifi zone. I finally started reading one of my summer homework books. Eventually, two people came and started a Zumba type workout dance. They had been practicing this morning as well while we were eating our breakfast snacks, but they just did one song repeatedly. Not wanting to hear it over and over again, Joey and I returned to the Bungalow for our beach stuff.

On the beach, we went back to reading in the shade. It was nice and relaxing after a busy several weeks. Eventually, we got up and put our feet in, but the water is a little chilly. Dad met a local boy that was fishing off a rock. After awhile, Joey and I went over there as well. Dad said to the boy, "¿una foto?" This made me think that he was from a Spanish speaking country and visiting here, like us. I asked him what his name was in Spanish and got a very strange look. I was really confused as to why, but he eventually responded. I then asked, in Spanish, where he lives. This time he was completely clueless, and Dad said to me, "Italian." I was trying to talk to a young Italian boy in Spanish. No wonder I got a strange look.

Temperature beginning to cool off more, Joey and Dad were ready for a run, so we headed back up to the Bungalow. On the way up, we noticed that the Zumba type dancers now had a whole group. They must have been practicing all day for a lesson or something.

While Joey and Dad ran, I read some more and Mom rested. When they got back, I took everyone's dinner order and went down to the bar. They have a take-out menu, which we utilized tonight. When the food was ready, I brought it up to our bungalow's porch. Dad, Joey, and I each enjoyed gnocchi while Mom enjoyed spaghetti. For dessert, we had some of the fruit we bought at the earlier today at the market. It was a good dinner overlooking the ocean, while staying in the comfort of our bungalow.

Out on the water there was a yacht with lights reflecting out over the water. It lit the ocean around the yacht up light blue. When I showed Joey, she said, "the fish must be so confused." Then she continued with a fish impression: *schools of fish swimming in circles* "UFO, UFO! Unidentified floating object!" That concluded my relaxing day with a good laugh.
