Day 31

Rocca Mare Campsite Marche italy 10:43 PM 7-21-10

This morning Troy and I woke up on a boat. At 8am the sun was beaming through the glass so hot that we could no longer sleep. We had some breakfast with Jenny and Liam and talked about our plans. Since we gained an hour we had plenty of time before the boat docked so Troy and I relaxed and wrote and read for a bit. The boat docked and we said goodbye to the Greek/German family and Troy, Liam, Jenny and I headed toward Ancona.

Troy and I went to the info point and got campground information and Jenny and Liam got their tickets for the ferry to Croatia. We walked around town and came across a plaza in which some close venders were begining to shut down. We looked around and I ended up geting a pair of pants. Then we made our way to the train station and parted ways with Jenny and Liam. Troy and I caught a bus towards Falconara Merittima and I mistakenly made us get off 4 or 5 miles too early! We could have gotten back on the next bus, but I guess we kept thinking that our campsite was around the next corner, and we got lots of conflicting directions from the locals. We walked for hours, it was hot and we were tired. Finally we found it and checked in. We set up our tent and Troy wrote and I hemmed my new pants. Then we went to the beach. No sand, but softer rocks then Greece and the water was nice. After that Troy and I went in search of food. We found a restaruant on the corner that was open. The food was delicious and Troy and I had a great conversation. We walked back to our campsite to find them playing the movie 2012 in Italian. We thought about sitting and watching it, but it was in the middle of the film and in another language so we got ready for bed instead. We planned to hang around the campsite and be mellow.
