Summer Feelings in a special April
/

This April, the weather in Pizzo is much more gentle than last year. When the sun is shining, and it has been shining every single day for the last ten days - it feels like summer!
We all agree, that for us it feels more special being in Pizzo in April, than in summer.
There are only few tourists around. The
Pizzitani
are among themselves. Including us! We feel more like
Pizzitani
, inhabitants of Pizzo, now, in April, when socializing with the locals seems effortless.
People have time to talk. You don't wait two hours for a pizza (ok, that happened only once in August). And the
piazza
and
gelati
are even more enjoyable.
The beaches are empty. You can sun bath and kids can dig holes all over the place. However, the sea is yet too cold for a swim. Even the weatherproof Brits would only bath their feet.
This April was also special for us, since we had planned a lunch with family and friends for a belated celebration of our son's first communion. When we met in the church San Giorgio on that Sunday, an unexpected small and very special ceremony was organized for us.
Now, our stay is almost over. But no one wants to leave!! It was our best April ever!
We had not much to do in the house. Mission accomplished. Just "bonding" with the house and enjoying :-)
It's always sad to say good-bye. But the comfort is that summer is near. And with it a very long summer holidays around the corner that we will spend in this
Bel Paese
!
As soon as I have a computer and Internet (not just a smart phone) available, I will post some more. For now, please visit us on
for more pics.
Ciao e a presto!

PS: I merged the the above photo with the text again. Somehow when you upload a post via email, the text that you write before the photo will appear in the post behind the photo (as I like it), but the text behind the photo does not appear. When I tried to add the missing text, I accidentally deleted the photo. Apparently you can now add photos from your phone to your post via Google+. I downloaded the app, but did not manage. Also, I am a bit reluctant to too much Google services.
