We found ourselves in the middle of a major lightening storm this morning. One bolt struck so close to the villa, it was deafening -- and scary.
Needless to say, the weather scuttled our plans for sailing with Carlo. In the midst of the storm in Marsilian, Carlo was sitting on his boat in Porto Ercole. He admitted the seas would be rough, but encouraged us to come join him on the boat. Afterall, it wasn't raining. We decided against it. It was the right call as subsequently the lightening storm hit Porto Ercole as well.
The change in weather also amounted to a day of pain for me. My knee was killing me. Even with voltaren and ice, I could hardly walk. Such a bummer.
In the evening Selvaggia came over. Josh and I went out to dinner at La Parrina – the agriturismo place where we’d bought wonderful fresh produce, and which produces the yummy Ansonica wine.
They have a very beautiful garden – just like our backyard. But this one filled with tables and some toys and games for kids.
The limited menu looked very promising. But I had to send the tagliatelli back for lack of calamari; when it came back it was too salty (did I piss the cook off or something?). We thought about going into Porto Ercole after dinner. But between the drugs I’d been taking and the wine I’d been drinking, (and the length of the dinner) it was time to pack it in.
Once we arrived at home, Selvaggia confided it had been quite problematic getting Avery to bed. In fact, he was still awake! There was something unsettling about this day for everyone.
