Gracie had her first swim this week in the Adriatic, this is the pre-swim photo of her all decked
out in her pink bathing suit and hat for the beach. Regardless of this outfit the Bagnina, the lady who runs the chalet at the beach where we go asked me for the 10th time this summer if she is a girl or a boy, when I told her that Grace is a girl she said to me "oh yes, but there is a bit of a boy in her isn't there?" Can you imagine, she is way into her 70's and losing it a bit but still.


In other news this week our little monkey Greta got stuck in her
blocks barrel, there were many tears shed before Claudio managed to extract her. Poor thing, she actually had a couple of scratches on her back to prove that she was indeed stuck.

And to conclude just a couple of photos of Mom and the girls and yet another photo of Greta and a Fiat, this time a white one which was parked in front of our house yesterday. Yes, the 500 fascination is still alive and well. Yesteray we saw several white and one red one. Ciao ciao for now...
