The Corsican Cruise
I just returned from the week-long cruise with my student/boss/friend, Angelo, and his trusty skipper, Enzino. Almost 24 hours after being back on dry land, I still feel like the floor beneath my feet is rocking to gentle waves.

On clear days here in Maberga we can see the mountains of Corsica rise up on the horizon, and such was the case the morning we set sail. The following morning we arrived at the port of Calvi, in the same locale we can see from our terrace at home.
A few highlights-- the spectacular scenery of the island's rugged coastline,

Daily swimming in crystal clear waters,

Eating fresh fish twice a day, prepared by Enzino, from roasted sea bass to lobster
pasta (even Enzino, not given to hyperbole, remarked at one particular dish he prepared of Triglia (not sure the English word for the fish), "Questo sughetto e una favola." (this sauce is a fairy tale.)

Enzo teaching me how to sail

Making a personal dictionary for Angelo, with him constructing sentences for each of his new words.
I have more to write, but have to sign off now. More to come...
