Fiorenzuola, Gradara & Miro
























On Tuesday we drove to Fiorenzuola di Focara to go to the unspoilt beach there. We had fun trying to make our own sun shelter out of pieces of wood on the beach and a gorgeous Indian bedspread of Na's. Luckily it was a cloudy day because the wind kept blowing our shelter down. We swam a bit, drew a bit, collected bits of driftwood and snacked a bit. I also had fun playing with Paul's sticky uppy hair which had gotten that way because of the salt water!


Later we went to the nearby town of Gradara, which features in Dante's Divine Comedy. We lunched on potato gnocchi with olive sauce, artichokes and beans with oil. Then we went to see the Miro exhibition which was on in the town. It was a little disappointing, it was based around prints he did for books of poetry and felt like the pages were simply taken out of the books and framed. But some of the images were really beautiful.


In the evening when we went home, we had dinner in Na & Mr M's garden and Na made her aniseed seed biscuits. They are possibly the best biscuits I've ever tasted.
