Viareggio 3rd of July.  So we drove down through (literally) the mountains into Tuscany to the Mediterranean Sea and stopped for some sun and sand (and pasta and pizza) at Viareggio. 

It is not as busy, for the 4th of July weekend.. ;-).  The Italians are still patient with us, and our lack of understandable Italian.  The American flag is a popular fashion item here, purses, shirts, and so on.  There is no negative feeling towards Americans here, which is nice.

Now the girls want to shop, and Austen has a summer school final to take on line… Ciao ciao
