We had a cute Airbnb outside of the city, but it did not have air conditioning, so we have struggled with the heat at night as the kids, have noted. Our visits with family have been so wonderful. We have been welcomed with such hospitality and love that we are all feeling overwhelmed with the connections we have made here. And, there has been so much food. The kids are learning 'Mangia' means to eat and that there is always something to eat when we are with the family. We also got some more time at a different beach here and that was a really nice change for the kids, and it was also really needed with the heat we've been having. As much as I don't want to complain, heat in the high 30s into the late evening is pretty wearing after a while. Our visit here also included a quick morning trip to San Marino, and independent state found inside of Italy and just a few minutes from our Airbnb. It was very beautiful to walk the castle streets and climb the towers on the top of the hill.
As we enter the last stages of our trip, we are looking forward to our whirlwind ending with a trip to Venice, Florence and Pisa all in the next 5 days. Looking forward to sharing those pictures!

Over the last three days, we have been to some very cool places. We went to San Marino, we went to the beach, and then we went to the beach again...it has really been a relaxation week this week. I also met three new people. Their names are Zio Franco, Zia Paola, and Serena.
San Marino is a place where there are three towers on a big hill. Only two towers were open. The first one we went into was the best because we got to go on a ladder and there was a hatch at the top that you push open to get to the top of the tower. The second one had a museum in the tower with knight armour, swords, weapons, guns, arrows, and lots of other stuff.
After San Marino, we went to the beach and stayed there for about three hours. Then we went back to Zio and Zias and got ready for dinner. We went to Frankie's restaurant where there was a lot of seafood. Some stuff looked gross but I still tried it. We were up pretty late that night but it was fun getting to know our new family members.
The next day when it was lunchtime, we ate lunch at Zio and Zia's house, then we said goodbye to Zia because she had to leave for work. Then we all got ready for the beach. I had a lot of fun jumping into waves, getting covered by waves, and playing in the sand. I had lots of fun. Then we drove home, dropped off our stuff and went for dinner at a cafe where we got pizza, more seafood like the night before, yummy food and ice cream, then we went to bed.

We haven't done too much over the last two days. We drove to San Marino and got to explore the castle towers and walk around the museums. I loved being able to climb up a ladder to go into the top part of the first tower. We stayed the last three nights in a very hot Air Bnb which had no AC so we spent most of our time at Zio Franco's and Zia Paola's. We went to the beach with them on the first day after San Marino and spent a good two hours in the water cooling off. Afterwards, we went to a restaurant called Frankie's where we had lots of food but had a hard time ordering it. We had some really good pasta and a big plate of seafood which tasted really weird. We got home at 12:30 and went straight to bed. The next day we met up at Zio and Zia's house to say goodbye to Zia Paola because she had to go to work until late that night. As soon as she left we immediately went back to the beach where we had so much fun in the water. I loved to watch the boys jump over waves and play in the water because they looked like they were having lots of fun. That night we went to a small cafe and had pizza and some appetizers. After we said goodbye to Zio Franco and went home to sleep.

Today I woke up and got on the road super quick after that late night. Once we finally got to our Air BnB and dropped off our luggage and went to Zio Franco's for a snack. About three hours later Serena came to have dinner with us. The rest of the night we just played cards. The next day we got up and went to San Marino and saw some castles and saw some ancient weapons. It was cool that San Marino is its own country. That afternoon we spent at the beach and met Zia Paola. That night we went out to dinner with Serraina, Zio Franco, and Zia Paola. I tried some food there that I thought I would never eat like swordfish. The next day nothing really happened other than is saying goodbye to Zia Paola and spent the rest of the day at the beach. That night we went to a cafe for dinner and said goodbye to Zio Franco and left. Today was a good last day in Rimini.
