So the sun goes down, of course. The heat remains but it's just not as scalding. In fact, in the shade with a little breeze, it's very comfortable and beautiful. At night, everyone comes out for a passeggiatta. A tradition in most of Italy, this is an evening walk that is all about eating and talking. Everyone is out at night. People go to dinner a bit late (well, in my opinion. But remember I like to go to bed at 8. I'm lame) and meet up with friends, chat the evening away.
It's rather civilized:
My friend, Ines (from Germany), and I are at a restaurant in the piazza. I ordered a delicious Sicilian-style pizza and a glass of vino bianco from the Etna area. She ordered a traditional eggplant dish with saffron.
I took home my leftover pizza in this box that is SO very Italian stereotype. OH!
I always meet fabulous people on my trip. Lucky me!
