How fresh is your wine?

My days have settled into a very nice routine. We eat a little breakfast. We walk around and do stuff. We eat a little lunch about 2:00. We walk around some more and do stuff. Then we eat a little dinner anywhere between 7:00 and 10:00. At some point, we stop for a glass of wine, a gelato or a spritz. We might walk around and do more stuff, or not. We watch a little television. We go to bed. It's a nice life.

Nevertheless, I did accomplish several things today:

1. Bought a pair of Birkenstocks because
a) it's tradition that anyone who visits Nora buys Birkenstocks. She must have 89 pair herself and highly recommends them.
b) they are much cheaper here.
c) they are good sandals.
d) one pair of sandals I brought are full of canal grit from wearing them in Sunday's two-hour downpour.

2. Found some decent postcards for 25 E rather than 50.
3. Encouraged sparrows to land on our table at the da Paolin gelateria in Campo San Stefano.
4. Had a spritz with Nora and her brother.
5. Organized some 100 pictures.
6. Rode a vaporetto that's specifically for the tourists.
7. Rode a vaporetto that's only for locals.
8. Sort of recognized where I was when I rounded a corner.
9. Almost successfully pronounced "ponte delle Guglie" the first time I was quizzed for today.
10. Learned that "guglie" refers to obelisks on each corner of the bridge but may also refer to any pointy thing, like mountaintops.
10. Grumbled about the damn tourists.
11. Finished the plastic bottle of wine Nora gets from the wine guy down the street.

Tomorrow, we will do more of the same, which is just fine by me. And we will visit the wine guy to refill our plastic bottle from the spigot. I may not accomplish more than that, but somehow, I feel that's okay.
