Sept. 17 2018 No driving today

After driving all over creation yesterday, I stayed here today.  I relaxed on the beach, finished my book that I wanted to never end.  So good.  I swam in the ocean, came back to my apt., made a salad, ate some peaches, went for a walk and had 3 beers!  I never cared what time it was or having to go anywhere.  I can't believe I've been here a week already.  Time has been flying by.  Of course it took me 3 days to just chill and get used to the idea of where I was and I didn't have to do anything!
I used the olive oil on my skin and after about 2 hours I felt kind of burned a little.  I saw Filomina and she said I was red.  I said I couldn't find sunscreen anywhere.  She said  she would bring me some tomorrow "from her heart".  But now a few hours later I don't see red at all.  I got a little tan!  These women here are sooo brown.  And I don't think they sell 2 piece bathing suits in Italy!  Young and old they all wear tiny suits.  So me in my one piece must look like a visitor.  That's ok.  I did see a guy who was whiter than me though.  He was in the water and after being in the water for a couple of hours I noticed he was bright red.  I've gotten badly sunburned a few times in my life.  Don't ever want that again. 
I think a food truck selling hamburgers, hot dogs and egg sandwiches would be a bit hit here in Italy.
I like cooking for myself after going to these tiny fruit/vegetable stands.  I don't know why but I don't feel hungry here.  I eat just to try some of their stuff.  Their pizza is really good.
