I just went swimming in the Mediterranean, which I have possibly just spelled wrong and am too lazy to check on. I finally got gelato last night. Coffee flavored, and I think today I will try Mirto (a local liquor) flavor and something berry. My hair smells like the ocean and my skin like fresh sweat and salt. Both hair and skin are now nearly as brown as the local girls. I think I could pass if it weren't for the freckles on my nose and shoulders and the way I sit that tells everyone I'm American. I've started to walk nearly as slowly as them. Heat like this makes everything seem less urgent.
