After breakfast of cappucino and croissants this morning, Lisa and I took off to find a post office. HA! I kinda had alot of stuff I needed to ship home cuz there was no way it was going on a plane! As we meandered thru the streets, we came across street markets and gorgeous shops....did I mention how super duper cool the shopping is in this sweet town? Oh yeah!!!! Loved this lil lady selling her solid olive wood wares.
We finally found a post office and OMG!!!! Not one single person in there spoke one word of English. If you can get a mental image of one gal from the deep south and one gal from the PNW trying to explain that we needed boxes and shipping for a whole lotta stuff.....with our hands...??? then you're prolly laughing your arses off right now!! I think we were in there for over 2 hours but finally, because of Lisa's brilliant organizational skills...we got it done. And I had no idea if we even sent it to the right place!!
We needed BIRRA!! beer.
We found a sweet outside cafe
where we had fresh vegetable sandwiches and cold birra!
By this time, we were pretty tired.....we were on the 10th day on non-stop go. Eating non stop and drinking non stop and laughing....well, that NEVER stopped. We were pooped!
Chilled all afternoon and then we all met for dinner one last time.
