Saturday Feb 21

i know a lot of you probably think Andy and I have been kidnapped by a couple of dashing Italian men…but alas, that is NOT the case.  I’ve been sick since I last wrote and have been sleeping a lot.  Don’t know if I picked up a germ on the train back from Pompeii or if it is allergies.  Coughing and coughing.  Andy went to the pharmacy for me the other day with a note in Italian for the pharmacist and she sent back some drops to put in water that helped most of the time.  I feel better today, and it is a beautiful day, so we are going out and about.  Will try to hit at least one church today, because we are behind on our daily museum and church visit.  If we are not too tired this evening, we are wanting to eat Japanese food for dinner and go to a Bach and Brahams concert – in a church.  We found the Japanese place the other day.  There is a winding counter where you sit and a conveyer belt winds around with plates of sushi, edamame beans, rice and soup.  You pick your plate, eat the food, and when finished you pay a price according to the colors of your plates.  White is 1€, yellow is 2€, etc.  Next door is the more formal dining room with tables and menus.  More later…
