Our relaxing Wednesday began with D playing basketball with Francesco again. He wakes up before everyone else to get a workout in. Then, more time for all us at the beach.

For lunch, D and I went to a different alimentari and salumeria to have sandwiches made: prosciutto for Paul, mortadella and galbanone cheese for D and I, pizza for Miss M, a Gatorade, and a four hoodsie-style cups of amarena ice cream. All for 12 euro.

At 1:30 I returned to the AirBnB for my final remote work day before vacation while the kids and Paul spent more time at the beach.

Late afternoon, Paul went to the grotto and summer home of Roman Emperor Tiberius. There’s an archeological site and small museum which houses the sculptures found in the cave which looks out over the city. It’s believed that Tiberius entertained here and then moved to Capri in AD 26, binding Sperlonga and Capri together both by sea and history.

For dinner around 9pm, Paul brought us pizza from Aqua & Farina, which translates to Water & Flour. Pictured is Paul’s pizza with buffalo mozzarella, lardo, tomato and provolone. My pizza had San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte (cheese), and sausage from Cetara. No visits to Cetera planned for this trip, so Cetera sausage is as close as we’ll get!

I had to work until midnight, Damian is still feeling congested, and Miss M had college pre-work to be completed before arriving on campus in 28 days.
