Meta Bay

We walked back into downtown Meta where all the little shops were now open at 8:00 pm. A little fruit stand here, a newstand across the road, an unobtrusive little cafe to our right... We found a little food store with two aisles of merchandise. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to decide what kind of beer to buy. I had no qualms about dumping a half kilo of Parmesano Reggiano and some hard salami in my basket. Gail bought a bottle of wine made in this region for 4 Euro. It actually had a label unlike the locally produced stuff our travel companions and fellow Wine Club members had been finding. I finally settled on a couple cans of Peroni. When we returned to the hotel things were a bit lively since another tour group of Englishmen had shown up and they were all gathered around the lobby TV watching soccer. We went back outside where it was cooler and just watched the sunset over the Bay.
