Incredible lunch. Check. Yummy calamare grilled. I'm still impressed with how they dissected it. Wait. I mean prepped it.
After more scenic routes (again, for Joe's sake to get a feel for the town) we found our way back to MdP and with about 30 minutes left of empty streets as all the locals wrapped up their rest time. We capitalized on this time to walk some part of the neighborhood around my place. Why? Well, I wanted to figure out where the road that spits out pretty much directly across my driveway starts. It's a very round about way but had I explored this option my first day in the place Ravi wouldn't look quite the way he does now. Once the first few people resurfaced to fill the streets we once again climbed my ridiculously steep steps to my porch to enjoy the breeze and view.
Well, I take that back. Joe and Signore did that while I continued my quest to unpack. Joe's quest today was to decipher the icons on my washer and dryer. He did. I'll be posting those pictures as a "what is it" before too long. He also was a pro with helping me configure the guest room and helping me figure out what to do with all this space. His gold star was earned by suggesting I contact the landlords to see if they are invested in either of the couches. If not, they are going to find a new home. No, not the side of the road if I can avoid that, but they won't have a home here anymore.
Speaking of the side of the road- Sunday really is "take out the trash day" in this area. Well, not in MdP since we have trash pick up 6 days a week but in the surrounding area. On my way back home tonight I saw more cars pulled over unloading trash. It's still something this Cali girl can't get over...and I just may never get over it. (Chucking my organic trash from my passenger window to the designated pick up place for my apartment is completely different.)
So yeah, today was a pretty low key day. Productive but low key...just the kind of day I need before kicking off another work day!
