Sunday, july 31

For our second full day in Monterosso, we had planned to spend half of it on the beach, and the second half exploring the neighboring town of Vernazza.  Once we got settled into our beach chairs, those plans changed.  We weren't moving!

We read two more books today: The Borgias by Alexandre Dumas and Excellent Daughters by Katherine Zoepf.  You can probably figure out who read what.  

After a delightful full day of relaxation, we headed to dinner at a place we had found the night before, Ristorante la Lampara Ciak.  For our last dinner hurrah in Italy, we had to have more caprese salad, obviously.  We then shared a giant vat of risotto with equally giant prawns.  Eat all the things!
