It might rain a bit this afternoon. Kathi slept in until 10:30, finally feels like she slept well --- yay! Leftover pizza for breakfast. After finishing our laundry, we went out for a long walking loop around Palermo. We started South West back towards Parco Piersanti Mattarella where we found a hop-on-hop-off bus and grabbed their map. We spent the day walking their combined routes and seeing ALL of their stops.
Got Granite Lemon and Orange Kathi got mixed berry. Then a bit later Chris got his Ragu Arancini and Kathi got a berry cream tart.
Walked a lot more past xx yy zz. Then Kathi picked out a no-borders-project kitchen that had a fusion african italian cuisine. They opened at 8pm and we were there at 6, but they served us a fish and a meat and potato lasagna-like dish. Really very good.
While paying the bill, Chris talked to the African woman at the register and mentioned his trip to west africa. Turns out she was from Abdijan 8 years ago and was in Palermo going to school. We talked in broken English and some Italian about borders. She had a very bright smile and the conversation was so happy.
Then we walked back to Marquet and enjoyed the crowds on the way
home. Seeing some of the same sights again before it got dark was
nice. We felt just a few raindrops in the last 10 minutes walking
home and got back just in time to miss the evening rain.
