Day 8 abbateggio

Arise- breakfast of bread and jam and tea. Then I decided to walk down to San Valentino whilst the others talked to their boys on the phone and relaxed. The wind was ferocious I was almost blown over. And the road was not pedestrian friendly at all. It took a good 40 mins to get there and it was pretty dead so I strolled around and headed back home. I think the highlight of the trip was stepping into a hidden ditch and falling in to leaves knee deep! Got back and found ourselves with too much chill time due to miscommunication with the relatives. So had last night's left over pasta for lunch (still pretty good but nothing like Rosanna's of course). Serafino picked us up in the arvo and took us to nonninas old house, showed us beautiful views of abbruzzo and then around chieti- trying to explain things to me in Italian as simply as possible. We then went with carla to visit pescara- a pretty beachside town. We browsed markets and danced with some clowns on the street before heading back for dinner- more of rosannas amazing pasta and sausage and eggplant and omelette and choc cake (to which we took home what we didn't eat) + coffee  and a strong shot of something to help us sleep...
