Wow I have been lazy. Not really just very busy a lot of stuff is going on in the town these days. Lots of party’s. lots of fun with friends. But soon this adventure will all come to a close kind of can’t wait. I been here for a little over a month. Pretty much the same thing happens everyday. Right now I been working on the house. Its almost done woo !! I worked on it for 5 hours today didn’t go to the beach just worked. Then at night went out with my friends met some people from Canada. Spoke English for once in a month and a bit could finally express my self with ease. I miss Canada . Its been a while. In 2 days my mom comes and then that mean I am going to be doing a lot of traveling. Hopefully this week or next week I get the internet renewed. So I can have another little bit of internet then I go home. Woo home Toronto where everyone is. I am just sitting here on the couch just got home from a night out its 12:30 pm here. Soothing if I must say. Music playing light. The occasional passing by of a car. Just relaxing . Tomorrow beach probably. Just go for a nice swim. Then go on adventures climb the mountains. find new roads fun times for all. Well I she be less lasy and write more. Maybe I will but now I know 14 more days and I am home.

6 hour journey

sunny 30 °C

Well today I drove 5 hours to go to my cousins wedding . We arrived at this very fancy hotel in this city called Lecce. Its like a mini Toronto and this hotel has everything. Slowly everyone from our family would arrive. It is a very expensive wedding . My cousin is a lawyer and so is his to be wife. Lecce is a very historical city I very old city as well. The church they got married in was made in 1116. It was rebuilt a couple times. It is a very beautiful church. After they got married we got shuttle bussed to this very elaborate. Villa where there was torches leading the way to the first area. Where they has a salt water oyster and champagne bar . After everyone got a little settled. We moved to this other section where there was a fountain. And that started the h'orderves. Where there was fresh fish and lobster .they cooked it all in front of you and made it to your liking. Fresh octopus. After they lead us over to this gazebo with chandlers and everything. That where we ate dinner. 3 courses before the 2 before. Once we ate dinner there was dessert. Which was in another area where there was a live do and there was all the desserts you wanted. Italain they make good desserts I have to say. After that yes I know there is more once we finished the dessert there was an area. Where you could have any kind of liquor you wanted also with any kind of cigar you wanted. A Cigar bar. Before we left they give everyone a gift for coming the gift was verche. It was the fanciest wedding I ever been too. I will always remember it. Then after we explored the town of Lecce. After we were done. 6 hour drive home got stuck in traffic. It was pretty bad. Always an adventure.

Traveling for hours

Well yesterday I was to busy to write out a blog entry. We were getting ready for a pretty big journey 5 hours on the highways of Italy. To get to my cousin wedding. In another province of Italy. But yesterday we got lots done. I got a haircut from the barber on the street. After that we clean up a little and then had a nice sleep for a few hours. Then after we noticed we ran out of water and went to the fountion to get some more natural spring water. Then after went out in the night . Met up with my friends had a few beers and some ice cream then it was off to bed to wake up at 6 in the morning . That will be the first time I have woken up in the morning in Italy. Usually I wake up around noon. But it will probley be worth the journey. Italain weddings are pretty awesome in Canada but this is going to be the first one in italy. It will be quite the experience.

Budget accommodation in Italy

Read reviews from other Travellerspoint members.

At least i wrote somthing

i was not going too

Well today was a very wonderful day in the sun. woke up this morning went to the city again to get some guitar strings. For the acoustic guitar my father got to play. That will be fun times for everyone. So now I think I have some people looking at this blog. I wondered why I would do it. But then I was like why not.
One we got back from Vibo. My best friend who I have not seen in a couple year from Torino. Came and he is now staying at his grandma’s house for a bit. It will be good times for us. Once we got settled we ate some lunch. After lunch we headed over to the beach to meet our Swiss friends who came on vacation in italy too. That was fun had a couple beers and swam till dusk. Today I really don’t feel like writing a lot. Tomorrow the blog will be better.

Farmland and seas

your a subheading lol

31 °C

The sound of waves crashing up against the sides of the rocks. The smell of the salt water caressing your nose. You can taste it on your tongue not to bitter not to sweet just enough to know its there. Sun from a clear blue sky shines off the water. So hot yet so good. You want to get away from it yet you can’t get enough. The first step into the water the shock of the water touching your body. The first plunge into its depths of its never-ending sea. Cool breeze cooling your body as you come up to take in the sweet salty air. Some call its home some call it paradise. Today was a day of activities. My internet did not work we had to go to the city and get it fixed. After that we went to the went down to the farm to get some nice fresh vegetables. Once we got home continued working on the house. Getting it ready for when my mother comes hopefully we will finish on time. But there is always something to do here. People ask do you have a cottage. I should say yes in Italy come here in the summer fix it up and go on adventures. On the drive home today there was another accident this one was pretty bad. There was a car in the ditch. Lots of people were around so it was good they had help. Today the sky was clear you could see the other side of the coast very clear. One day hopefully it is clear enough to see the active volcano and the smoke coming out of the top of it. I remember when I went there the sand on the beach was black from the ashes of the volcano. Maybe one day I will go there again. But soon I will be going to Rome to see everything in Rome. Tonight in the town there is as per usual more beach volleyball. I think everyone in the town is getting tired of it there are less and less people who go now. I know I am getting tired of it. In this town everyone just either walks around the town or drive. This small town has more traffic then west hill area. You see a car like 20 times in the night or the same person on there scooter. Just driving around. Fun times for all.
