One Word Wednesday: A little late

Last week's One Word Wednesday was rudely interrupted by our unfortunate theft incident. This week it is back with a vengeance, beginning with our Mediterranean "cruise" from Barcelona to Porto Torres, Sardegna. Nadia, in fact, has always wanted to go on a Disney Cruise so I told her I would make the ferry ride as "Disney" as possible (since a real Disney cruise will never happen).


 
            The Cruise Ship:  Pristine


  The pre-boarding buffet:  Extravagant


The name of our cabin:  Minnie's Chalet

 
          The towel creatures:  Freaky


 
           The Play Room: High Tech


                 The Pool:  Empty

When we arrived in Sardegna, our first stop was at a house not far from the charming town of Alghero.  We explored the beaches and sites in the area. 


 
        The number of stairs down to
                  Neptune's Grotto:  
          Six hundred and thirty five. 


     The temperature difference inside
             the grotto:  Dramatic


      The number of years it takes the             stalagmites to grow one centimeter:
                 One Hundred


     The water around Spiaggia Pelosa:
                          Unreal

 
    Dinner on the waterfront of Alghero
      View: Amazing Food:  Marginal

 
      Nadia and Lucas after dinner:
                        Punchy

After spending three days in the Alghero area, we headed South along the coast and then inland towards our farmhouse. 


       The view from our pizzeria stop
              along the coast:  Dreamy

 
The calamari in Brads seafood pasta:
                        Buttery

We stopped in the charming town of Bosa on the way. I wondered the streets on my own for awhile and fell in love with the the bright colored house and narrow alleys. 


        The predominant color:  Mustard


           The cats in Bosa:  Lethargic


     The symbols painted on this door:
                         Sardinian

 
         The various doorway covers:
                          Interesting


        The amount of time it takes for 
        laundry to dry in Bosa:  Minutes


      From faraway Bosa resembles a
     town on what continent?  Africa. 

After Bosa we headed inland and eventually made it to the farm. 




           The Cork Trees:  Generous



     The rock inside of the farmhouse:
                              Fun



           The Sardinian Flatbread:
                           Huge 


        How we felt after every meal:
                           Full

 
The name the kids gave the climbing area they liked at the Farm:  The Jungle


Nadia's knee after falling in the Jungle:
                          Bloody
(Don't worry Mom - it was not as bad as it looks).  

Ciao e baci

Nancy.
