Friday...

Little P has been sick this week, so we haven't been getting up for school. Wednesday, The King and his niece took her to the doctor. He prescribed amoxicillin for her. It's a powder that we mix into water. Better than the shots in the butt that The King had to endure when he had bronchitis the week after we arrived!


This morning she went to school so we were up and out waiting for the bus at 8. Then The King and I went into Barcellona (a much larger town) to buy a computer desk and chair for my computer. Then we drove around the city looking for another store called Euronics so we could buy some electronics. We found it. Thank God for google maps!!


Last night we went into Milazzo to go to Carrefour. We needed a printer. Didn't have anything we liked. We got a few groceries. I really like that a person can buy beer, wine and liquor at just about any store!! (For non Europeans: Carrefour and Ipercoop are stores kind of like Super Walmart.) Carrefour is in a mall type building. There is an electronics store called Expert in the building. We were looking at a washer/dryer combo by Arriston. In America we don't have one machine that does both. It was 799 euros. Anyone have one? We looked for one in Euronics but the store didn't stock it. They sell them on their website though. I am not crazy about buying appliances over the internet.

The King is at a job interview. I wonder what is going on...

Here's a photo of Mt. Etna! We took this over the weekend when we were out driving.


It's the snow covered peak in the center. A couple of weeks ago we drove up to the mountains to look at a house and it was very clear that day. We forgot to take the camera. Murphy's law!!

JoAnne, it's good to have you back and I am so looking forward to how you like living there, what you are doing and how Little P is handling school. Please write about it all.
