Today is Saturday and Camilla and Federico took the family and I to the beach, 30 miles west of Rome. It was a pretty sunny day and surprisingly warm. We ate seafood by the ocean. So good. I had clams and spaghetti. We met their friends, Mr. and Mrs. X, at the restaurant. When I ordered spaghetti, Mrs. X said I should order what she called "short pasta" because she was afraid I didn't know how to eat spaghetti. Silly Italians think Americans don't eat spaghetti. :) Camilla was embarrassed by this. Hehehe. Mr. X is 1/2 American. They had 2 children, Francesco and Lorenzo and just returned from vacationing in Palm Beach. Such a small world. Mr. X went to Princeton, class of 1985. Very impressive.
Camilla and Federico enjoyed their friends while I played with the children. Ludovica LOVES Francesco. He sent her a post card from Palm Beach that I found in her room. They're lovers. Adorable.
Camilla drove home and everyone slept in the car. It was a beautiful day.
