Since I could not go to Sardinia this summer, I asked our sixteen-year-old to write a short post about this trip. This is what Thomas had to say:
This summer was the first time that our annual family vacation took place in Sardinia. We had been to Italy before, specifically Sicily, but I had heard that Sardinia was quite a bit different from the other regions of Italy.
This family vacation itself was also a bit different than what I had been accustomed to, as only half of the family (my father and I) would go. This was due to some complications regarding my sister’s physical condition… she injured her knee three days before our departure and ended up in the hospital in Frankfurt.
The city where we stayed for two weeks, called Bosa, is a very picturesque town full of history. The apartment where we lived, was submerged directly into this culturally intense atmosphere. It was aptly called The Lemon Tree House, as one of the main attractions to this place was the lemon tree situated on the front terrace.
The tree was a very pleasant and shady place to relax under the warm sun, and provided us with lemons as well. These we would use to make lemonade, or just pure lemon juice. As I arrived on Sardinia with a bit of a cold, my father had me drink freshly squeezed lemon juice almost every day.
