Wednesday, August 8
It is Wednesday. On Saturday Steve arrived ready to experience hedonism at its best. He was heard saying at 7ish on Sunday evening something to the effect of, "I've had six glasses of wine, 3 desserts and 2 naps and I haven't even had dinner yet." Such was our week.

Lots of hanging by the pool. Getting up late. White wine. Red wine. Local wine. Regional wine. Warm, sunny weather by the pool. Warm, cloudy weather by the pool. Windy weather by the pool. Antipasti: salami, prosciutto, cheese, olives, faro (a type of rice product with capers or olive oil or tomatoes), garbanzo beans with olive oil. Primi Piatti: artichoke salad...well, enough about the food. You get the picture, don't you?

A bit about the photos below:
