Alghero Italy – Good-bye

Christina

March 24, 2013

Saying good-bye is always the hardest, especially when its such a great place, and having had such a great time.

The weather forecast for the day was “Rain” but Italy’s version of rain, and Alaska and England’s is apparently different. We suited up with rain gear and coats and prepared for the worse. A few drops of rain later – and then warm wind and sun for most of the day.

One last walk down by the coast, one more ice cream, and a few knick-knacks completed our last day in Italy. Palm Sunday, everyone had palm branches and olive leaves.

Bags are packed, floors are swept clean, and blankets folded back up. Our euros are sorted, tickets complete, and ride to the airport secured.

Good-bye Italy. Until we meet again!

Already day 5, one more day to go. Time has gone so fast here! 70 degrees today, our wants to go swimming were fulfilled.

We “Rode” the waves into the shore, and got covered in sand.

Sun ~~kissed~~ burnt faces and arms were well worth it.

Strawberries on the beach, and sand between your toes with sun on your back.

The locals are still in winter coats and hats – but we were splashing in the ocean, soaking in the rays.

Fresh baked rolls, mozzarella balls, and green olives.

Bike rides on pine needle filled trails, mixed up words, and Italian Gelato (Ice cream) while taking a rest from the hot sun.

Bumpy roads, and windy streets. Hidden shops, riding on the road.

Smiles from strangers, JD sleeping in his seat on the bike.

These are the things I dont want to forget. The things I wont remember. I will have no problem remembering the big things, the major events. But the small things. The way the stores smell, the way the old round buildings look. The kid who played dodge my bike. The sanding of the boats. The hidden trails, and trips up the stairs. Riding the waves into the shore. Laughing. Joking. Being.

The weather forecast for today was full sun, so we decided to take advantage of it. We got up and out “Early” and secured some rental bikes, once we were packed – we were off! Taking in the sites as we went, much like yesterday – there was more to take in than possible. The “Turquoise” water was absolutely amazing, as was the bike ride, and sandy beaches.
