Day at the Beach 7/8

After seeing three different bodies of water we finally got to spend a day swimming in one-yay! We got to the beach at about 11 this morning and just as we expected Angela had reserved us a big shade cabana with beach chairs that was really close to the sea. The entire beach is all private so we were glad that we had planned ahead and reserved a spot. It wasn't extremely busy because it is Monday but there were a fair amount of people there. Today was very hot so it felt good to be in the sea. The beach was very shallow even for a long way out. It was also very long and it seemed as if you could walk for miles. We spent all day there until about 5. In between we had lunch at a restaurant very close to the cabana. I had what I thought would be a small sandwich but came out as a huge pizza thing with a crust on top! I was very surprised and felt wasteful- I guess that's what I get for not knowing a word of Italian! After lunch we continued to swim-the waves got larger in the afternoon and we had more fun! After the beach we went back to have a light dinner in the restaurant where we continue to go. Angela was there and we thanked her for her help with the beach cabana. She brought us big antipasta platters of grilled vegetables, ham, and bruscetta. It was very tasty and refreshing after the beach! Now we are trying to plan out our day tomorrow. I am so glad we got to go to the beach today!
