Hey everyone,
Let’s see....I went waterskiing this week. Thanks to grandpa for teaching me how to slalom. It is more difficult in the ocean than the nice flat lake and I had to drop a ski because the boat wasn’t powerful enough to haul my big butt out of the water on one ski. Nevertheless, I had a fun time and made it before I did a spectacular flip/ nose-dive. I forgot how sore it makes you the next day and I couldn’t make a fist because I used all of those wrist muscles to pull myself out of the water. It was so much fun.
Yesterday some friends of the family from NY came. We spent the day on the boat I got to spend some time talking with people who spoke English. The family was so nice I we had a lot of fun swimming and bouncing on the waves. They pointed out something that I never noticed about Elba. There are no clouds here. It never rains because it is the summer time (that isn’t weird) but I realized that it is kind of a strange thing that I could never quite put my finger on: no clouds.
Today is my day off so I am sitting in a deck chair looking out at the view. It is so beautiful. Today it is so clear that I can see Corsica across the water. I took a wonderful nap and now I’m trying to get the internet to work but it is resisting me.
That is about it for me here. As for news from home: Thanks again for keeping me informed about home. What I don’t hear from you I get from Facebook so I feel nice and connected. I can say that I don’t feel homesick. I would like to offer congratulations to Seth and Carrie. I noticed, on facebook, that the engagement is back on. Nice. Here is a toast to helping rumors along.
The summer is coming to a close and we only have about a week or so left. I can say that I have seen some beautiful places and have had a good time in Italy.
The church let off this string of a million balloons earlier. I didnt have my camera out. You can see the purple that they decorate with.
Random singers in the street.
These are pictures from Bormio
I love this sign!
He loves me...He loves me not

These are some pictures from Capoliveri during the festival because it is August. I like that reasoning for a festival.

ReplyDeleteI love keeping up with you - I am so glad you had the opportunity to do this. So many young folks are so rushed to "get on" with their lives they miss these golden nuggets. How long are you gone for? I am sure I should know that but just wanted an easy answer. I hope you are keeping a personal journal as well as the blog so you can reflect later. Love you
