We had a lovely Thanksgiving lunch at the Sofitel – Lea arranged a delicious lunch in a private dining room for a few of us. The food was outrageously good and there was so much of it!
Lea, Rachel and I took advantage of an early closing at the embassy the day before Thanksgiving to go shopping at some of our favorite stores in Palermo, followed by a stop for coffee and dessert. Lea and I had lunch last Sunday at Saenz and again today at Marti, our favorite vegetarian restaurant.
John and I started watching “Man on the Inside” with Ted Danson, and I’m indulging in “Martha.” I have been absorbed in reading about the race to the South Pole in “The Last Place on Earth,” and finished it this morning. John is off to Mexico City for a conference this week, so Flavie and I are on our own! I had a video chat with Pamela, Ann, and Jackie this afternoon.
I don’t know what these flowers are, but lots are blooming all over town – a beautiful accompaniment to the jacarandas!
