Last night Laura arranged for a group of her friends to come and pick us up and go for arosticini, sheep kebabs, so the canadian friend was contacted and yes he'd be fine to drive us, gets snow ten times worse in Canada so no prob. Half hour later he phones to say the car is stuck in the car park! Other friends arrive at Laura's flat and other arrangements are put in place. After a quick drive around Pescara we arrive in a nice restaurant on a hill somewhere, very pretty with all the snow around, one hour later than our booking. This isn't a problem as this is quite normal for Italy. Lovely meal and good company, Laura seems to have made some lovely friends while here. Then a drive back home arriving just after 12.30. What a great night we had.
After a good sleep, coffee and fresh orange juice, Laura took us shopping to the local shops. Very slushy out as snow is starting to thaw and it is a lovely sunny day. Goods bought we pop into a local cafe just round the corner, very good coffee. Then back for lunch aa Laura has to get to work. After she left we walked down to the beach which is covered in snow and I say to Andrew that last time I was here the sand was too hot to walk on! Back to flat to rest and wait for Laura to finish work, pizza and scrabble booked for the evening.
