My last day in Sanremo was fabulous! I spent the day, feeling quite like an Italian. I slept in a bit late, since we were given the day to ourselves. I then met some friends for breakfast at the hotel. We were told that there was a market near the piazza, so we set off in search of bargains and treasures. It so happens that the market was a bit generic (no antiques, Christy), but I did buy a pink alarm clock (which I needed!) and a pair of shorts (which I wanted). My friends and I then decided to find an outdoor cafe and sit for a while, drinking a cappeccino. We found another outdoor cafe that served pizza, and sat for another hour, or so, enjoying a delicious margerhita (cheese and tomato sauce) pizza. We did a bit of shopping after that, but got so thirsty, that we were forced to find ANOTHER cafe for just a bit of caffeinated nourishment :-) We also spent a bit of time at the beach...AND then had dinner. This is certainly the way I could live out my days: shopping, eating, and drinking coffee.....with a view of the sea!
