Planet Earth

Hey guys,

We are back in Milan for a long weekend before heading back to Elba and the ocean. Milan in August is deserted. You would not believe. There is next to nobody in this whole city. They all flock to the ocean. I had heard that before but it is something that should be seen with ones own eyes to get the full effect (alongside that migration that Planet Earth shows). They probably leave because it is 10 degrees cooler than H E double hockey sticks here. That makes it about even with Fernandina so I am kind of used to it. I am not, however, used to no air-conditioning. It is scarce here. The new house has it so we are OK but it is still really hot. Thank goodness for summer beach homes! Nothing else is really new. We are just moving into the new house and waiting for the weekend to be over. I hope everything is great at home! Happy Anniversary to my parents!

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 pu...
