Ach! The sun! I'm melting!

Sardinia really is as beautiful as the pictures that you have probably never seen portray it to be. The water is ridiculously clear and the beaches are made up of fine white sand. It is stunning. Now if we could all just come with our own personal butlers to shade us and keep us cool as we lie on the beach! It turns out that I am too pale for the place and Jer isn't much better. We are loving that spf 50 sunscreen....

Sardinia was described as a place to experience rather than to see things and I do believe that to be true. There simply isn't too much to see or do here. There are a some ancient ruins, which are really cool, and I'm sure that there are a few museums around, though Jer and I are avoiding those as much as possible. On the other hand, wandering the back streets of the old parts of the cities is really fascinating. We are currently in a little town on the west coast called Bosa. It is essentially a beach town, but there is an old center that has been around forever. We got ourselves lost in the narrow, winding streets today and noted both how small the doorways are and how good the food smells wafting out were.

Tomorrow we are headed to the north part of the island to hang out and explore around for a couple of days before we head to rainy ole Ireland. Apparently it is expected to rain the whole time we are there. I'm sure that I will fit in with all of my paleness just fine there!

All in all, we are having a wonderful time. The food is excellent, the wine is splendid and the company is highly entertaining!
