I had a
horrible sleep last night! Thankfully,
it turned out to be a great day to make up for the bad sleep…I love it when
that happens!
I was
at the pool by 9 am and did a great 3km swim.
The pool here is really quite superior to any others I have swum in on a
regular basis! It is great – and I am
totally spoiled here and have an entire 50m lane all to myself!
On the
way home I discovered this street market about a block away from the
house. I wandered through it – they had
everything from clothes and electronics to fruit and bread. I mustered up my courage and tiny bit of
Italian and bought a vine of tomatoes – they were a grand total of 17
cents! Then I bought some bread (18
cents) and a hunk of cheese (1.37). It
was excellent. I had bought peaches
yesterday, so I went home and enjoyed a nice little picnic on my bed!
After
my lunch and nap, I went back to the pool and swam my 100m freestyle race. I totally surprised myself and finished in
1:19, which is seriously a good 15 seconds faster than I normally swim it
in! It was really weird! AND I didn’t finish last in my age group – I finished
7 out of 9! Yeah!! Later this afternoon I swam 50m breast and
finished in 47 seconds – also a great time for me…although still not fast
enough to place – I finished 5 out of 6 in my age group! I am still really impressed with my times,
however! Yeah!
I
bought some gelato at my new favourite gelato place…they have the coolest
flavours. Tonight I got a meringue
flavour as well as some chocolate and something flavour that I hadn’t had
yet. It was great!
More pasta and tomatoes tonight for dinner…and
the rest of my red wine!
Later
