10/20 Sunday
It’s a nice fall day, not sunny, but
hazy and still warm. All the families are out today, strollers and little dogs
everywhere. We walk into the town and stop at the book fair again. We listen to
an author interview, actually not an interview, but a young man talking
non-stop for about fifteen minutes, then pausing to read a few pages from his
novel. It’s all in Italian, so we really don’t understand him, but I think the
book is a historical or fantasy romance. There were allusions to horsemen and
falcons, I think.
We enjoy a cappuccino, watching the
people in the market square, then stroll over the old bridge to the
neighborhood across the river. People are out having Sunday dinner in the
trattorias and bistros. It starts to rain a little as we’re walking towards
home. We manage to get inside just before we hear thunder, and it rains harder.
We can have an easy evening,
gathering up our stuff and packing. We’ll have a last dinner on our balcony, and
hope the clouds let the moon shine through a little.
