Miscellany on a "Chill-out" Day

There was one more thing about yesterday that I forget to include. On my way to Priatu I stopped at a rest stop, well, I actually turned around to go back to it, since the scene below was so interesting. I was sitting out enjoying the vista with my Coke Light. A big tour bus came along, and as everyone got off, I knew I better head for the bathroom before the whole bus did. A little while later, ANOTHER bus came. Now this was not a big parking area, so it turned out that the two buses had made it a challenge-actually pretty tough-for me to get out! I had to back out and turn around and HOPE that I’d not stall with all these people around. Luckily two men helped me, so I got back on the road with no problem but it was funny!
So today was a chill out day....I needed to do a wash but it looked like rain. So I checked on-line, where it said a 10% chance of rain. Well, I did the wash; no sooner had I hung it on the rack, and it did, in fact, start to rain! It probably rained for an hour, and the clothes did get dry, so that was the important thing. (I had asked Jane at Li Licci if it ever rained, and she said that it hadn't rained for about three months, but it had rained alot in the spring.)
Meanwhile, I read more of The Legend of Redenta Tiria by Salvatore Niffoi, who lives here on Sardinia. It is somewhat strange, as it tells of all the people in this small village who commit suicide by hanging themselves when they hear the Voice tell them it is time. It was here in the house, and apparently Piero knows the author. It gives a flavor of the island and the people who lived here, which is certainly interesting for me as I visit here!
Later this afternoon the sun did come out, so I went to the beach for three hours. The water was rough, and it was windy, so it was pretty empty. The ocean waves are just really one of nature’s kalidescopes (SP) ALWAYS changing and so intriguing to watch!
Tomorrow I’m heading over to Posada to visit another agriturismo, and to explore that area. The GPS says it should take two hours....Hmm, we’ll see!
Some totally miscellaneous facts about living here which you might find totally UNIMPORTANT!
-Keys. I forget if I ever really talked about the four keys we needed to get into Angela’s apartment? Well, both Dayle and I thought it was pretty intimidating. I finally got it or thought I did. I was supposed to lock the apartment from the outside when I left, but we had missed that, so it didn’t make sense, but it worked. Well, the door to this apartment only has one key, but you have to turn it four times, which was what we had to do at Angela’s also.
-Car radio, etc. Mallory had observed that most of the music we heard when we were in Rome was American. Similarly the rental car, which seems to get only one station, does play mostly American music with some Italian thrown in. However, since I still can’t understand most of what they are saying, I decided to see if I could find a CD. SLIM pickings! My best choice given the very limited selection was "100 Hits Country Greats" for 9.99euro. So now you can also visualize me driving and shifting all over Sardinia-oh, and SINGING with Willie and Waylon and Patsy and Johnny, etc.!
-Why would the dishwasher here have a label on it that says “Proud to be entirely conceived and made in Italy” in English?
Well, arriverderci!
