Skate, Birramisu and kite surfers

Wednesday, August 6, 2013

Swimming last night in the middle of the lake was dreamy. Stephanie, Carlyle, Casey and I swam out far enough to view the three churches that overlook the piazza. The water was black silk, sweet and soft. It wasn't warm. It wasn't cold: refreshing and fun! We giggled lots while bobbing on top of the water.

A bit of aqua freedom at its most liberating. It might have been romantic, if shared with a partner who likes floating, insieme (together), too!

A hot and sunny day without much breeze.... summer has arrived. A friend's birthday prompted a lunch of fish (skate, tuna and crab) on the lake with views of a half dozen kite surfers trying to catch the wind along with wind surfers. It was colorful to watch the variety of colors from the sails dip and dance in the air, as their riders were trying to find to a way to propel themselves.  Finished lunch with a BIRRAmisu ( not tiramisu, as this was made with a hint of beer) and a grappa Mirtillo ( a blueberry sweet grappa, which is not available in the US, me thinketh)

A siesta is in order, as a full meal, some heat and the lazy days of summer: dictate.

Hope your Mercoledi is grand, too
