The Spirits of San Benedetto del Tronto

I’m back in my hometown to visit my Mum, weather isn’t the best much colder then in London for my big surprise, to get back home have been a sort of adventure, I left my house in London at 6am and got back to my hometown at 9:30pm, with the same time I would be in Thailand, everything went quite smooth and reached Stansted airport on time, done the check in quickly and the flight reached Ancona on time, for the first time got the bus to Ancona train station straight away, everything perfect or maybe not, arrived to the station….the hell, all the trains were late, delays due to the snow, what I thought was my train with only 20 minutes delay was actually an other train arrived 1 hour late, jumped in happily only to realize when around my hometown station that wouldn’t stop until Pescara a town 1 hour away from mine, in Pescara to be sure to get the right train went to ask info at the ticket office, the ticket office located in a surreal location with surreal people waiting and as for tradition no one could wait, every now and then someone asking to pass first cause needed to ask ….. just a question, what about me? Two tickets office and one for ask informations, doesn’t matter cause everyone went everywhere and for some reason there was only one way in and no way out so when done you had to go back the same line trying to slalom the people standing everywhere, you have no idea how much I missed London that is chaos as well but at least everyone queueing in an organised manner, at finally I got the right train back home where amazing food made by my Mum was awaiting for me, a nice bottle of wine that was supposed to be red but got a white by mistake but it was there just to end the day in fairness and helped me to enjoy the food and relax after the long day.

Today I woke up around 5am to enjoy a nice walk by the sea to admire the sunrise but seen nothing too cloudy, find out that ”Misus” the old bar I used to hang out with friends and where I spent the most of my time as a teenager will be replaced with new apartments, everything change, there is only one sure thing in life and is that nothing last forever, walked for 4 hours and took some nice pics even if the weather wasn’t the best, got home and ate Angnolotti a sort of Italian dumpling made with Spinach, Ricotta cheese, Eggs and Parmesan.
