THE BEACH

On Tuesday, we decide to take the kids to the beach.  It was already late afternoon and Josh and I had been working most of the day on the paperwork needed to get the Permit To Stay.

 Which brings me to something you can be praying for.  We need to get the Permit To Stay even though Josh has already been given a visa.  The Permit To Stay requires more paperwork and money.  Wednesday we ran to two different place, one for a stamp and another one for a signature.  Things run slower here and many stops in the process.  And language has been a big barrier for us.  Josh has an interview for November 11.  Which is 10 days before my 90 day tourist visa is up.  It looks as if I will have to come back to Chicago to get my accompany a family member visa.  Pray that Josh gets this permit.

Okay back to the beach....
I googled Cataina Beaches and found a blog called Lost in Sicily.  She writes all about the beaches here and has some amazing pictures on it.  She recommended the Lido Playa for children.  It was beautiful.  We told the kids they could just put their feet in since we knew that the beach closes at 8pm.  Well that was a lofty though thinking they would only get their feet wet.  Here are some pictures....
