wow, yesterday it was 115 degrees here!!! Brad said we could cook on the sidewalk, but we didn't. after being unusually cloudy, cool and rainy it has now become hotter than usual for June. i do not mind it so much because there's not much humidity, but even with a/c units the house does not get very cool. i need to learn how to make gazpacho. that's my goal for today is to find a good recipe and maybe if we can get the water back on, then i can shower and shop for ingredients....
this past weekend was the festival of San Giovanni in Aci Trezza and there were fireworks all day and night. i never saw fireworks in the daytime before but basically they are the 'bombs' that i posted a picture of before. even last night they had them. at midnight i suddenly was awake and hearing all of these loud blasts that rattled the windows and doors. so i jumped up, ran downstairs and grabbed my mosquito wipes that smell like citronella and went outside and watched the last 10 minutes of the show. it was fantastic. so many bright, glittery, colorful and huge fireworks. they were beautiful. and did i mention that they were loud? dogs were barking all over the place (not mine though - they were right inside the door waiting for me. except ringo who was under the bed scared for the millionth time). car alarms were going off too. it was comical in a way. i did not see the neighbor, Guiseppe, or anyone in his family outside.
wish i had pictures...
