Viareggio





I got up and went to breakfast at the Villa. My mom had rented a Mercedes E326 which is a model we don't have in the US. It was a diesel 6-speed. After breakfast we drove from the Villa to Viareggio. Once we were in Viareggio, we dropped off the car at the rental car place. We took a taxi to our hotel which was a 5 star hotel. It was the only one available for one night. After we checked into the hotel, we walked to lunch on the boardwalk of Viareggio. The boardwalk is 3 kilometers long and there is 7 kilometers of sandy beach. Most of the beach has private beach clubs that you have to pay to get a chair and umbrella. I was disappointed with my lunch because I was looking for a pasta dish I had when I was here before in fourth grade. When I thought I found it, it turned out to be a different dish that I ordered. Instead, I had a penne pasta with shrimp and tomato basil cream sauce. After lunch, we found a gelato shop and I had my usual lemon gelato. I don't think I've had any other flavor. The pool at the hotel was fabulous! It was on top of the hotel and had spa chairs built into the bottom of the marble pool. It was very shallow so you could sit right in them with your head out of the water. They had bubble jets from under your whole body. In addition, the pool had 3 different waterfalls. The entire pool was only about 3 feet deep. After swimming, the three of us walked to dinner on the same boardwalk that we had lunch. We went to a different restaurant than lunch. This restaurant was closer. For dinner, I had a very delicious breaded and fried veal cutlet with lemon. Again, after dinner, we had gelato. And, I had ... the same lemon gelato I always get. After we finished our delicious gelato, we went back to the hotel and went to bed.

  1. Christopher,
    With you all there and S&S away for the weekend, this is a very lonely place. You are doing such a great job with you blog, if I close my eyes I can imagine being there with you. Don't miss anything in your travels, but hurry home because I sure do miss you.
    Love,
    Dad
