Well we arrived on the Italian Riviera to visit with our dear friend Chuck and his dog Keelee. Now we are really vacationing with salty Mediterranean water, beaches, boats, and big waves.

| Town of Lerici |
First, we give a shout out to my niece Thyra who came to Lerici with me a few years back. We feasted on the Jennifer white pizza with truffles and gave up a toast to you. Wish you could be here to indulge!

| Hi Thyra! |
Chuck drove us up a very windy road to the mountop village of Collonata today to see the marble quarry and purchase some hard, smooth trinkets. We also feasted on their signature dish Lardo, a cured lard spiced with fennel, that was used to feed the miners back in the day and was surprisingly delicious. The girls however preferred the molten chocolate dessert in particular.

A final a dip in the salty Med
