Una Weekend Spendido!

We had another spectacular weekend with endless sunshine! Sarah started off the weekend Friday with her entrance exam for the Consevatorio di Musica N. Paganinni. She was a bundle of nerves but kept herself composed. Keep your fingers crossed for her! Friday evening we had an impromtu BBQ with the Lewis', which is always an affair to remember. That is if you control how many glasses of wine Ian pours you. Which in this case was many. The evening ended with Sam and Ian sitting around the computer having a sing along with the itunes and a web site with song lyrics....

Saturday, Sarah was off to Piemonte with Virginia's family, again. And little Anna spent the day at the beach with her friend Elenora and had a sleep over at her house. Once again, I scored! Sam and I were alone till Sunday afternoon!

Saturday we went down to Sestri Levante and had a lovely lunch on the beach. While sitting there amazed at the good fortune of having the evening to ourselves....we pondered what to do. Sam surprised me with the most romantic idea! Dinner in Portofino. We could not believe we have been here 5 years and never had gone for dinner there!? Sam picked up the phone and made reservations quickly for The Terrace at Hotel Spendido! The best view in Portofino! And the most expensive, if I must say. What an evening we had! Apperitivo, followed by dinner, topped off with spectacular sunset. A passagiata romantica ending with a kiss by the pool! Ahh! La vita e' bella
