Un Giorno Alla Spiaggia (A Day At The Beach)

The view I had while tanning

After all the rain and thunderstorms we have been having, today was a perfect day to go to the beach!  Luckily today was Monday, and everyone was back at work, so when I arrived around 10:00 this morning I was the only person there.

The public beach, which is free to use

The private beach, which you have to pay to use

Two Things You Have To Try While In Italy

Just thought I would share with you what I ate today...

Una pizza, called Genovese Bianca, made with Stacchino cheese and pesto and...

Un grande gelato!  Tomorrow I start my diet ;)

These are two things we have in America, but are SOOO much better in Italy!

La Mia Famiglia

So yesterday was an eventful day!  I had a wonderful lunch with most of my family and decided on the dates I am going to go learn how to cook at my aunt's restaurant!  If everything goes according to plan I will be cooking my heart out this Tuesday and then go back again on Sunday and stay there for a few days.  So be on the lookout for pictures of mouth watering food and recipes!

Intorno Santa Margherita (Around Santa Margherita)

My luggage finally arrived today and the first thing I did was break out my shorts and comfy sandals and go for a walk.  The weather here has been overcast but it is extremely humid, so I was glad to trade my jeans and tennis shoes for shorts and sandals.  During my walk I decided to take a few pictures of things I love about Santa Margherita to share with you.

Saluti da Italia! (Greetings from Italy!)

Santa Margherita Ligure (My home for the next four weeks)

Ciao tutti!  After almost missing my connecting flight in Munich, I made it to Italy.  Unfortunately my suitcase couldn't grow legs fast enough to run through the terminal with me, so it missed the flight.  And of course with my luck today had to be a holiday so it will not be delivered to me until tomorrow.

On a lighter note though, did I mention there is nothing like waking up in the morning to the sound of scooters and motorcycles driving by!  There is just something about it that puts me in a good mood, maybe because I miss my scooter so much.
