When the summer in Abruzzo gets too hot, locals escape up to the mountains. And there are lots of them. One of the best places to go are the different parts of Campo Imperatore. Known for where Il Duce was kept in a hut, skiing, very high and fresh air, and BBQ:ing your steaks or arrosticcini on the grills put up outside two competing butcheries. Enjoy, and keep your eyes peeled for more later on!
No real vacation without palms, right? This one is a bite lonely here. Roseto isn’t fashionable and maybe a bit dated in some places. But to me it is the best beach in Abruzzo. And the town is right on the beach, meaning everything is close. Perfect for lazy summer days.

It is an absolute gem. That is why we picked to buy our own joint there. It is not only the view. Not only the old town. It is also the people. Abruzzians are are friendly and gentle. Simple as that. You should visit too.

After a day of hefty rains the next day is sunny and warm, making the sand dry up with a uniform crust on the top it. Another day on the beach of Roseto degli Abruzzi

Or what else could we say? Did a giant walk here? Looks like a very long step, from someone with very long legs. Just stepped out of his slippers. Or slipped out? More likely the slipped away in the tide though. And were washed ashore again. Now they are trash.

Traveling by train gives you time to think. To browse through the window. Look and see. And not be seen.
On April 6th 1999 L’Aquila was struck by a devastating earthquake. About 65.000 people became homeless and 308 people were killed. Today the city is still being rebuilt. Work has been going on for the years since the earthquake, with stabilizing damaged buildings the main priority the first years. The bracing can be seen on most of the old buildings in the central parts of town. A lot of work has been done with mostly landmark buildings and some are even finished, but 90% of all work is still remaining to be done. The pace is crippled by both lack of money (many house-owners were not properly insured, and a lot of other were not covered due to force majeure while some just awaits government funding) and laborers skilled to work with earthquake-damaged old buildings. #laquila #earthquake #abruzzo
March 2013 in Rimini, the ol’ boys prepare for beach season by digging out the paved path from the beach-club to the sea. So their pals with less stable legs easier should make it to the sea I guess? 😉 But also so people can walk up from the beach without dragging so much sand with them. Civilized beach-life simply. And it made a nice picture. You have to dig it!
