Its day 3 in Ponza and still
no internet connection. Im writing this in my laptop and figure when I get to a
Wi-Fi spot I can upload it.
Everyone is complaining of
how hot it is and I agree. It seems some kind of heat wave has hit Italy
especially Ponza. We have no air conditioning here so we deal as best we can.
Cold showers help and taking a swim in the emerald waters also help. It seems
that my dad is a local celebrity in Ponza because everywhere we go we stop or
get stopped to say hello. Everyone loves my dad and he is happy to be back
home. We eat lunch and dinner at relatives or friends homes and eat well. My friend Naomi is coming to Italy August 5th
and we will travel around together. Im happy that she is coming and for us to
share some memories together. The house
here is in need of maintenance and I will spend this week sanding, stuccoing and painting. I finally found some internet and uploaded the last few entries just now that I had saved. Its only been 3 days here in Ponza and it feels like its been weeks. Im wondering how my friend Naomi will fare with the rocky terrain and hot humid climate. Whatever happens we will always remember it when we get old.
