Alghero

Well, here we are! We are at our hotel in Alghero situated right on the Lido (beach), where we actually just caught a fabulous sunset (shades of pink setting over the ocean & the mountains). We've had to speak an extraordinary amount of Italian since arriving, which has been both good & bad (only bad when we can't understand the response). We had to figure out the entire bus & ticket system in another language (patience is key).

It was warm here during the day when we went exploring (there is a beautiful promenade lined with palm trees leading into Old Town as well as an old fortress wall that lines the town). However, tonight is a different story as it is freezing (and yet there are still people walking around in shorts, T-shirts, & sandals). We need hoodies, towels, and blankets ASAP, thank you :)

P.S. I am starting to miss American food - the buildup of carbs in your body is so unnatural...

OH and for your amusement, I would LOVE to post a picture for you of how tiny our bathroom/shower is (you have to put your feet in the shower to sit on the toilet), but for now you'll just have to use your imagination ;)
