In Which I Go Drinking With Johnny Depp.. Sort Of

I got here yesterday.. a great day.. and had absolutely no inclination to leave today. Not while the pool is this cool. A great day.
Spent the evening at a barbeque with Alex, Nadia, Luigi, Marcello and Paulino.
A little gang of bikers from the Naples area, though Alex is currently off the road and on crutche following an accident at the start of the year. He makes up for it by looking more like a biker (well, like Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, so it's a sort of biker-pirate mix) and grilling a mean sausage.
Luigi was more forthcoming than any Italian so far about Berlusconi, the various mafia groups, and the cataclysmic failure of the state of Italy. All done with nods, raised eyebrows, grimaces and frowns. So that, not only could I understand, but the others didn't notice. And these are his best friends.
Oh, and the thing about this biker gang? They were teetotal, and wanted an early night because they were hiring canoes in the morning. Not very Jack Sparrow.
Read late and finished the bottle by myself, perched in a little white plastic chair under a streetlight.
