On Wednesday, (May 24, 2006), they took us to the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. I'm going to find out the names of these beaches. All three were within 30 - 45 minutes from Lecce.
Isn't it gorgeous? We set up in the first set of lounge chairs down on the beach on the far right of the top picture. I was in heaven on this beach. 
In all honesty I would have to say that it was the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I was completely overwhelmed. The water was so clear and the surrounding beach was incredible!
I felt like I was at one of those remote European locations you see pictures of celebrities hanging out at....oh wait - I was! The water was a little chilly at first but we waded in and picked up seashells. I was planning on making a necklace out of them, but I haven't done it yet. Maybe this summer I will. 
We were there at the perfect time of year too because the beaches were still quite empty , so we were really able to enjoy being there without being crowded out of all the good spots!
And therefore...I was a little more comfortable "doing as the Europeans do" and by that I mean "unleashing the girls," or as Emily called it, "liberating myself."
Though I'll admit that it still took me about an hour and a half and one alcoholic beverage to work up the courage.
Anyhow, I think it goes without saying that going topless on a European beach has to be included on my lifetime checklist....check!
For dinner that evening, we all went to Stefano's house for a cookout. We had a great time! Stefano gave me a bottle of liquor that his family makes, it's green and quite potent. I took it to a party at a friends after I got home from my trip and made everyone try it. It was a bit strong for their liking but my friend Melanie and I drank enough of it for everyone!!
