One sunny day we decided to spend the day at Aqualand, an aquapark in Vasto, a city about 1 hour away from where we lived. It is a amazing park, with 9 slides, a lake and a pool, not to mention a water massage place. We came and I immediately went to the 4 slides. There were 4 colors: blue, yellow, white and red. B and Y were slow an...

Have you ever heard of a brand called De Cecco? For those who don’t, De Cecco is a pasta brand, and Veronica, Mom, Doriano, and I were going to have a tour in one of their factories! The factory was in Fara San Martino, which is close to where we lived, in Lama dei Peligni. We came there, put on robes and hats, and went inside....
We came to Lama dei Peligni (which is the place where the girls live) in the evening. It is a very nice place on top of a mountain. They have a dog named Levis and 3 cats named Diego, Pirate and Marquees. They are very cool and cute and nice pets. We lived in the bottom level of their house, which was very beautiful and had a big pat...
We touched down in the evening. We drove to our house and I found out that our house was big, had a balcony and was 2 blocks away from the beach! It was very nice. The next day we went to Vatican City, the place where the pope (Pope Francis) lives. It is very hot and we came to St. Peter’s Square, the square that has the St. Pe...
It took two hours to get to Nice, and our house turned out to be on the top of a hill with a very good view of Nice and a pool and a jacuzzi. We fell asleep almost immediately. The next day we decided to drive to Monte Carlo, a city in Monaco. It takes a little bit (30 min.) to drive to Monte Carlo, but it took us a little bit longer...
We came to Saint-Tropez, and when we parked we immediately went to the harbor. It was very sunny and the harbor had a TON of boats. We even saw a big boat dock! We also went to the beach and swam a little. We ate lunch and walked around the harbor, which was beautiful. There were some really nice boats over there. We already had to ...
Arnould (our landlord) had a boat, and he invited us on his boat to go to Château d’If and Parc National des Calanques. (A calanque is a narrow inlet, that is why the national park is called Calanques, it has a lot of them). His boat was very nice, a big yacht with a sail and 2 levels. We went from the port and set course for ...
We got train tickets to Barcelona. I was excited but also sad because it was a shame to leave Valencia. Well, I learned that the train would be pretty fast, and when we got on and were already moving. I recorded a speed of 199 kph (124 mph)! It was a pretty nice train ride. The station was also pretty and when we got home, I saw tha...
While we were walking on the rocks near the beach we noticed that there were crabs over there, so the next day we got a net and went to the rocks to catch some crabs. It turned out that Mom was an expert and caught 2 crabs in no time. Once or twice the crabs we caught tried to run away (the crabs were fast), so it was pretty hard to ...
It’s Evan’s birthday (yay!) and he’s been counting down days until today. We decided to go to Oceanogràfic, a humongous aquarium. Evan likes animals and anything that is alive. Such a nature person! We went to the Mediterranean building first, and saw jellyfish, fish and morays. Then we went to the aviary (for some...
