Una Giornata di Riposo......quasi

Now we start the process of setting up a bit of a routine.  Most of what we will do fits into the schedule of meals! unless we want to shift a bit outside the regime......which may be reasonable on the days we decide to travel around the area.

We have unpacked our boxes in the studio space........my drawing materials and Andi's water colors.  Now we just need to exert the discipline to start our work! or should I say pleasure?  This is all intended to be both enjoyable and productive, so we need to frame our activities accordingly. 

Today, however, we just decided to explore!  After breakfast, we wandered into Bogliasco (5 minutes away) and found that Tuesday was the day of the Mercato Settimanalmente........the weekly market.  It was really cool, taking over many of the streets in this small village.  We explored a little and made it back in time for lunch.  After a leisurely start to the afternoon, we headed out again for a walk to the other adjacent village of Nervi.  

This escapade was a little more adventurous as we missed a couple of narrow calles leading us down to the passeggiata along the coastline.  We eventually found our way and had a very nice, but somewhat strenuous, walk back along the trail.

Fitbit reports:

  • yesterday         5,443 steps......2.53 miles......a lot of time in the car
  • today                9,712 stpes      4.51 miles......a lot of walking!
We love the pace........eat, walk, collapse.......eat, walk, collapse.....nice rhythm!

Here are a few shots of today's explorations.
