We almost didn’t leave the house today. Josh went for a ride this morning, and I spent the time unpacking, doing laundry, and figuring out the logistics of the house. Unfortunately, overnight, the pain in my back became worse and not better.
The kids spent most of the day playing in pool. A German family is renting the other apartment at the stable. They seemed really very nice and it’s a shame that they don’t speak much English because they have kids the same ages as ours.
Between the pain in my back and all the laundry and work in the house, I was in a completely grumpy and foul mood today. By the late afternoon, I felt I really needed to get out of the house and so Josh took me for a drive to the beach. Charlotte stayed to babysit for Avery and Olivia for an hour. We drove to the Torba beach and it was crowded. The sand here is dark but the water looked nice.
Back at the villa, I made dinner for the kids. Selvaggia, the babysitter, came over to stay with the kids while Josh and I drove to Orbetello. We had planned to eat dinner out, but we had eaten a bit with the kids and weren’t too hungry. Instead, we discovered a great gelato place – Le Logge just off the town’s main square. After taking a stroll, we drove further on to Porto Ercole where we met up with friends from Rome who were just finishing their dinner. We took another stroll – this time through Porto Ercole. The entire Argentario peninsula is really an exceptional place. After this evening, I was more excited about spending the next 3 weeks here.
