Things that have happened that we have seen in the last few days...
1. The restaurant on the water in Siracusa had a bucket on a rope with which they lowered meals to boats -- naval take out. Too bad the food wasn't good.
2. C was changing A's diaper and saw a hair. Given that I shed everywhere this is not interesting. The more she pulled, the more she realized that it was actually IN A. She had swallowed a long hair and C had to gently pull it out of her butt.
3. Only old people seem to live in the building of our rented dilapidated apartment. There is someone above us who also uses to bucket technique to lower his garbage. There are about six different garbage days here, very detailed recycling, and I look to his bucket of trash to see what I need to throw out on a given day. I snuck down and added our "regular garbage" to his, just two minutes before the truck came by. It was delightfully satisfying timing. As I hung out our clothes on the balcony,today, I saw the plastic recycling truck go by, but I thought it might be too aggressive to throw my plastic goods off the balcony.
4. As I got out of the sea holding two babies yesterday, a little Italian girl came up to me and asked to hold A. She could not have been more than six. I was struggling to not trip or drop a greasy baby, and this girl would not let up. She was pulling A and I was looking for her grown up. I proposed bending down so she could hug A, thinking this would appease then little monster. Well, as soon as I bent down, the little shit was trying to pry A out of my arms. I said, we are in the water and you are a little girl and I do not know you and you cannot hold a baby in the water. I basically ha to flee from her. A man came over, who I hoped was her father, but he was just a guy who wanted to make sure that I did not drop two babies as I was assaulted by a midget kidnapper.
