Salute


Italia won!  They will play Spain in the finals.  There is lots of celebrating going on outside of our flat.  Our windows are open so we can hear all the horns and cheer.

Had a great 2 hour lunch here today

We went to the Sant'Ambrogio market this morning for fruit, vegetables, and pasta.  There is a vendor there that is never particularly nice but sometimes we go to her...I am not sure why.  I guess her produce looks good.  Anyway, today was like every other with her.  We stood there with arms outstretched trying to get her to weigh our goods so we could pay while she helped everyone around us.  Finally, Wynn put the 2 bags down, and we walked off.  As we were going to another vendor, she started yelling at us.  We ignored her.  She followed us with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth.  And had some not very nice things to say.  She told us "do not touch" and other things.  I just said ok and hoped that Wynn did not say or do anything impulsively.  He responded to her cursing then walked off. We got our goods from a much nicer vendor.  It was refreshing to go to our favorite pasta and prosciutto guys after that.  They are great.
