I had a fabulous birthday on Sunday. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the Barcolana was a lot of fun. Lucy made me breakfast and we then went out for coffee by the canal. It was fabulously sunny and afer a while we wandered down to the waterfront just in time to see the winning boat, sponsored by Alfa Romeo, coming in. We toasted their success with a glass of local prosecco, then Lucy had to head off back to the UK. I spent the afternoon wandering around the stalls that had been put up all along the waterfront for the Barcolana.
In the evening some of my colleagues from the course came into the town to meet me for a little while, then Kristina, Lovro and Vlasta (the Slovenian contingent!) and Massimo - from Udine, who now lives in via Milano just around the corner from me, came back for some cake that Lucy had provided from the UK - good old M&S!
All in all it was a lovely day - topped off by a huge bunch of flowers from my classmates on Monday morning!
