Calvi continuted...


Me, taking in the beautiful view!
Ty on our picnic
Ty trying to get the "present" in the water! (He was convinced that some dude on a yacht dropped a present into the water...he was ready to swim out to get it when he realized it was a buoy for some sort of a trap! :-)
Getting ready for our afternoon by the pool...
We have been having such a great time in Calvi.  The weather has been a bit on the cool side, so we havent had much beach time, but it has been extrememly relaxing nonetheless.  Yesterday, we slept in...again...and woke up just in time to head out for a picnic.  We found the most amazing spot for a picnic.  We bought a couple sandwiches from a street vendor, put some wine in a 2 L coke bottle and headed out.  It was beautiful.  The point we found was a huge bunch of rocks jetting out into the sea, and we were able to look back on the town, and just out to the ocean.  It was beautiful.  After filling our bellies, we decided that a relaxing afternoon by the pool was in order.  We were staying at the most amazing hotel, with the most amazing infinity pool.  Then, of course, it was time to eat again.  Our hotel was home to a 2 star Michelin resturant.   Ty was in heaven.  We decided to splurge and get the NINE course, yes NINE course meal.  It was SUPERB!  But, when they said nine courses, I think they meant more like 12 or 15.  (The chef must have lost count...ha ha!)  Either way, it was a great meal.  And you would all be proud of us...we made ONE bottle of wine last all nine (or 15) courses...we wanted to remember the meal.  It was a great day! We checked out of our hotel this morning, and moved on to our current place.  We are staying in the middle of Calvi at a CUTE hotel.  Much more quaint than our last one, but in a great spot.  We are pretty excited to be down here on a Friday and Saturday night...I think things could get a little rowdy, and we are always up for rowdy! Well, Ty is ready to get out and explore, so I better get going!!!
