What's missing from 2015 (July-August)

Summer for us started (as usual) on the beach of Cesenatico


On the 14th of July, however, Auro fell and broke a little bone in his elbow. He underwent an operation and after 3 days at the hospital, he was released with a rather heavy plaster cast.
We got him a sling to help him carry the weight for the next 5 weeks.
And so life more or less continued as before....

Out of boredom grew the idea of making and selling bracelets. Something that would keep us busy the whole summer.


Visit to the caves of Toirano (02/08/2015)

This year we finally got seats to the much talked about Sagra del Minestrone of  San Martino di Paravanico, which is basically a dinner that starts with the Genovese style minestrone soup (vegetable soup with pesto). The local women get together 3 days beforehand to cut all the vegetables. They then let the soup simmer for many hours until it reaches the uniform consistency you see on the photo. It might not look very appetizing, but the taste is absolutely spectacular! (05/08/2015)


And back to Cesenatico beach for the festivities of the 15th of August...



Big day for Auro.
And off it goes!!!
