Wednesday June 19th

Today we reluctantly left Sardinia, although we were looking forward to less intense heat at the convent up in Belmonte. We woke at 5:00am to drive two hours to the ferry, rode the ferry for five and a half hours, and then drove two hours back to the convent. It was a very long day and many of us took advantage of sleeping in the car. We all enjoyed the ferry ride, though, and marveled at the size of the boat. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner of pasta with pesto, among other dishes, cooked by Maria, the cook at the convent.
