1 September to 8 September 2009: Laigueglia, Italy


We have been spending our days in the usual manner, breakfast at 9 and then a short walk down to the beach for a full day of relaxing, swimming, reading and snoozing! We have divided our time between Bagni Antonio and Bagni Roma as we are able to see Antonietta, Manuella and Danilo on the Antonio but the Roma has so many lovely memories as it was always the preferred beach for us and many of our friends in the 80's. Antonietta spends every holiday period down in her beloved Laigueglia now -she's always keen to escape Milan where she has been based since she married Danilo 17 years ago. She was bequethed a studio appartment right on the beach front, when her aunt died and she has made very good use of it since! On the Friday evening (4/9/09) Danilo, Manuella and Antonietta invited Saboohi and I to a country festival out at a village in the hills above Albenga, called Casanove Lerrone. The festival is called the SAGRA and it is a chance for friends and locals of the region to come together, eat good food (prepared in large outdoor BBQ areas)and dance to a live band. There are raffles and games too which makes for a lovely family atmosphere. (see photo of Manuela, Dani and Toni at the SAGRA).
