Our Holiday Weekend
June 2nd is a national holiday in Italy. On this day in 1945, Italy became a republic, kind of like an American 4th of July. We had a 4 day weekend and decided to drive to Rome. Unluckily for us, about ½ of Italy planned to head to the seaside and our 6 hour drive stretched to 9 hours. Needless to say, my darling husband was not too happy when we finally arrived. It was nice to see our niece and nephew as well as a good slew of friends. On Saturday, we headed to Sabaudia, a small seaside town about 110 km from Naples, (66 miles from Naples) to hang out with a few friends and their children on their boat. I took my first swim in the gorgeous Mediterranean; the water was very salty and quite warm for early June. After a long cruise we headed back to dinner with the family. What a way to end a weekend. Being in Rome always cures my homesickness.
