Today we visited several towns that we
have seen earlier in the trip, but approaching them from different
roads. We decided to start the day by visiting the local farmers
market which is set up on the main street through town. On
Thursdays, the cars just have to go around. It is fun to see the
local produce, cheeses and olive oil on display for sale.

After the market we road into the hills
and visited the towns of Castagneto, Suverto, Venturina, and then San
Vincenzo, and then returned home. Just after noon, we came upon a
“Super Conad” which is an upscale version of the normal of the
Conad Supermarket. Linda went in to see if she could find a hot
water carafe for heating water in the morning. Our one cup immersion
heater had died earlier on the trip. She succeeded !! She also got
a can of “Illy” Espresso. Now we are talking business.

We packed our appliances and goods into
our backpacks and headed down the road, stopping for necessities such
as gelato on the way. I am happy to report that the water heater,
and espresso work wonderfully – just hope I can sleep tonight.
