Today is a holiday in Italy…Easter Monday. Lots of places were closed.  More so than non holiday Mondays.  It was cleaning and wash day at our ‘villa’ and we got it all done and it smells so fresh.  Started a load of wash and discovered we had no hot water for showers.  Turned out, it wasn’t the washer’s fault…our water heater has lost pressure and wasn’t heating.  So, our leasing man came this afternoon and fixed it and now we know how if it happens in the future.  These washers are amazing…takes over two hours to do one load.  They say it uses less energy, but we will see.  And sometimes, we have to run the spin cycle a second time before the door will unlock and open.  

After cleaning, we decided to take the bus across town to see the Protestant Cemetery where Shelly and Keats are buried, along with many other famous people.  This cemetery was established for Jews and Protestants (and your general heathen) because only Catholics were allowed in the Catholic cemeteries.  We got there just as it closed for the day.  It was only open for a half day…since it is a Holiday.  And the stores that were closed had chocolate Easter bunnies that will probably be half price tomorrow!  We ate Japanese food, caught the bus and came home.    The Protestant Cemetery is right by the big Piramid across town.  I’ll read up on it tonight and tell you more about it and the cemetery tomorrow.  It was finally sunny today after raining all weekend, but a bit chilly.  Should be perfect tomorrow….
