Sorry that there has been a lag in posts.  There has been so much to do here in Samara that I have been lax.  The beach has been terrific. The waves are great for body surfing or when the surf is up you can see many surfers with their surfboards.  We have met people from Alaska, Boston, and WVa this trip.  The fella from Alaska was very interesting. Essentially, he has one of those jobs featured on deadliest catch. Yesterday we ate  on the beach at Locanda.  I had the tipico breakfast and bob had the fish soup.  The fish soup was delicious. Lots of big chunks of lobster...yum!
