Waiting

The days continue to be beautiful--cool mornings, warm afternoons and just a hint of a nip in the breeze.  Even though we try to stay busy, our days are mostly spent waiting.  Waiting to get possession of the apartment.  We have visited a number of stores to get an idea of what is out there.  There are things we need for the new place (especially lights which are something Italians take with them) and so we are doing our research. 

 

Today we bagged research and have been quite lazy.  There will not be much time to relax after next Tuesday so now is the time to truly vacation.  After a late breakfast we drove to Capannori where on Fridays there is a weekly market in the piazza in front of our new place.  We wandered the stalls looking at things. I bought a new blouse. Then we went to the bar in "our" building and had cappucinos.

 

Afterwards we did a meandering drive.  To give it purpose we went searching for the restaurant where we are having Easter lunch--one of those eight or nine course extravaganzas over four hours.  We were there once before several years ago so we had an idea where it was.  After finding it and plugging it into the GPS as a favorite we meandered back to Partigliano. 

 

Lunch and reading on the patio has been the order of the day ever since. 

 

At 6 pm there is a Good Friday service in the village church. Tomorrow we plan a longer excursion off to Calci in the Provincia di Pisa.

 

Sending photos via email did not work well.  I have not forgotten about posting some pictures of our bathroom remodel.  It will happen...
