It has turned very hot (33 degrees today) and when we drove to the supermarket this morning (we hand the car back tomorrow and wanted to stock up before we do) the streets were very quiet.
After lunch, we had a good rest (very Italian) and then headed out late afternoon for a walk along the promenade in Desenzano.
The Italians go in for a stroll, or passeggiata, around this time, winter and summer. They may include an aperitif on the way, or maybe an ice-cream. We chose the latter (it was huge and delicious so it may have to be a late supper).
We noticed a number of hen parties with the girls in shorts, as befitting the weather, and the bride-to-be also sporting a veil Desenzano may be the hen capital of Italy for all we know, rather like Prague used to be for the English, and Temple Bar in Dublin for the Irish.
