Today we ventured over to Civitanova Marche, which is about a 25-minute train ride from Macerata. The train rides from city to city here are absolutely beautiful! NOTHING like a train ride from north-west Indiana to Chicago. They had an open-air market and a beautiful beach! I was so proud of myself because I had a conversation with an Italian! I found a bag I really liked and I asked him if I could see the grey one, he got it down for me and I asked him how much it was. He told me, and then asked me if I wanted it. You would be surprised at how accomplished you feel when you can talk to someone who is speaking in a totally different language!
We then walked down to the harbor and Filiberto showed us where the main fish market is. He also told us that the highest point on the church in Civitanova is also used as a lighthouse for the boaters! After our tour we were set free and we went to the beach. I took my first step in the Adriatic Sea…It was very salty but man oh man felt great. By the water, there were huge rocks and we found one that had crystal-looking things on it, while we were observing a lizard came out of one of the crevices! I always forget there are different types of wild animals in different places.
It has been so incredibly hot here. I am counting down the days until it gets cooler. Walking up theses hills and taking tours outside has been almost unbearable, today it was 92 degrees! The only thing good about it being so hot is that the gelato is just that much more refreshing!
