Beachin' It, Italian Style

We decide to try the beach on our end of town, close to where our apartment is and most of the shops and cafes.   After a little exploring, we find there is a beautiful, little beach hidden around a corner that’s a public beach – no chair rentals going on here…  We like. 

We start to catch on to the Italian way to do the beach  - Do as little as possible.  There’s no constant selfies, no videorecording, no wave running, no parasailing, no paddle boarding, no beach walking,.  There is no building of sand castles.    There is laying there.  Without much movement.  Total ….. complete ….. relaxation  (and possibly sleeping).  Let’s just say it’s a little different from the typical day at the beach on Sanibel Island.  You can’t walk 4 feet without tripping over a sandart sculpture that a family of 6 worked on for 12 hours that day.   We try to beach it Italian style.  The girls can’t help but accumulate a moderate rock collection by the end of the day but that’s the only accomplishment we can rightfully claim.




Catchin' waves

Yesssssssss!
