The morning is gray and cool. We set out to walk the main road through Tarrabucceta, finally explore the area near the the cottage. We walked by olive groves, sheep, a school, along long low stone walls. Our proprietor stopped his truck as he passed on the road, and told us to take a path through the gated olive grove, better than walking the road back to the house.
We made lunch and a trip to Porto Vecchio, since it was still cloudy and getting windy. We wandered through town, and purchased a few treats to take home: more honey, myrtle liquor, orange-almond jam, tomatoes, and candied almonds to eat in the afternoon.
The late afternoon warmed, so we left town for a nearby beach at Rondinara. We sunned on the rocks on the outside of the cove and then walked to a spot on the main beach to swim in the last patch of sun on the calm, clear water.
We drove home on winding mountain roads, cleaned up, and made big salads topped with apples and tofu fried in honey.
