Sardinia

This past week I spent 5 days in Alghero, Italy on the island of Sardinia. I went with Becca, Melissa, and Amber because all of us have holiday (schools here have a TWO week winter break right now!!). Alghero is on the northwest side of the island on the coast. We stayed in an apartment right near old town, where the streets are narrow and winding, and around the corner from the port where all of the sailboats are. It was a very charming city, but quiet this time of year since the tourists come mostly in late summer.We explored the city, rode bikes along the north coast to Fertilia, took a bus to Porto Conte, saw the Nuraghe ruins which date back to 1200 B.C., laid on the beach... and ate gelato everyday! A much needed, relaxing trip.
