Zia

My sister Melissa arrived on Sunday, May 25. She flew in to Rome and then took the train to Jesi. We met her at the train station and then showed her around the town. We did take her to Francesca’s favorite place—the park.
On Monday we meandered around town and saw some of the sites to include the “home depot” and “famous footwear” type stores. We also went into a store called “Euronics” that was like Best Buy. I plan to keep Joe far away from that because they have a huge selection of espresso machines.
Today we picked up the rental car. It is a C3 Citroen. Not large, but it does the trick.
We went to Numana in the Conero peninsula and drove through part of what is called the Conero Riveria. It was beautiful. The water was cool, but the sun warmed us enough to brave the clear blue water.
The beach in Numana has small pebbles instead of sand and you can see Mt. Conero from the beach. It is spectacular.
Tomorrow we venture to Sengallia and parts north along the beach in the Marche.
