Swimming Sunning and History

We woke up at 10:40 am, just in time to rush over and get the buffet breakfast at 11. We then walked through the Old Town to get to the beach. The views from everywhere you look are just breathtaking. We somehow got away without paying for beach chairs, and then we soaked up the sun and went swimming. The water was chilly but swimmable, not nearly as cold as our New England waters. Also, the water was clear straight to the bottom, and had a stunning blue tint unlike any water you will even see in the Caribbean. My only complaint was that the beach was rocky, not sandy. We were so excited to be on a relaxing, 24 hour vacation! And then we talked about how amazing this job really is. Yes, it sure has its’ moments.

After sunning ourselves, we changed and after a yummy gelato we walked the city walls (which were high up above the town), and saw sights that took our breath away. We somehow found a hole-in-the-wall-place that we noticed while walking the city walls and wanted to check out that was over the ocean, (literally, we crawled through a hole in the wall to get here), and we had a couple glasses of wine. We reminisced about how in 2 weeks we have been to the holiest place in the world, and one of the most beautiful, including 2 UNESCO sights. Moments like this make this job so completely worth it.

Me looking through a restaurant tour magazine: “Let’s go here for dinner, it’s listed as the 6th most romantic restaurant in the world! “
Beth: “I don’t know, Lauren, are gonna put out after cause it’s probably pretty expensive”.

Lots of giggling followed.

We had a lovely dinner by the sea. We wanted to go out after but it was Sunday and the town didn’t really cater to tourists in a late-night sense quite yet, so everything was closed. We stopped by to see the pizza man and we ended up going to his friend’s house with him to hang out because we had nothing better to do. Well, his friend literally pretty much attacked me trying to kiss me so I said Hey! What the F was that? Soon after Beth and I were walking home. VERY much alone.
