May 27
All day long, Paulie wants to visit some monasteries....thunderstorm and kids and I drive around town and find a new way to explore. We do pretty much of nothing all day and the weather seems to condone our lack of enthusiasm. The grey skies bring in a chill that we are unable to shake with our short pants and lack of warmer clothes. We shop for groceries as we are planning another nice meal tonight. Buying oranges on a daily basis has become a treat for the kids and they eat them by the dozens. The bakery is another daily ritual as we select our fresh bread each day for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as pre-dinner anti-pasti. We learned the hard way to shop for bread early as the bakers sell out by around 5:00 and you wont see another loaf until the morning. We play numerous rounds of Spite and Malice and can't really get motivated to do much of anything. All day long, Paulie wants to drive around to different monasteries, but we always seem to avoid doing it. At one point, Annie and I venture out for a walk. We get into town and there is another little downpour, but we continue on and it soon stops. We return home in time to help prepare a nice dinner. Afterward, we are all a bit stir-crazy, so we pile into the car in the dark and drive through town looking for an open grocer.....as it is Sunday, we only see a couple of shops that are open, but we do discover a new way to get around the island and we all comment that tomorrow it will be Paulie's day to go out and about. We return home and hit the books and soon there after head off to bed.
