Another hopefully brief time out

March 29, 2023

Licata probably isn’t everyone’s idea of a great two night stay, but under the circumstances it’s working well for us. Our hotel room is pleasant enough, they serve a good breakfast, and neither of us feels up to doing much of anything anyway. I don’t leave the room all day other than to take the elevator upstairs for a minimal breakfast - yogurt, corn flakes, a scrambled egg, a pear, not even coffee - because that’s all I have an appetite for. Rachael makes it out to the store at least, and brings back enough snack food to get us through the day. So it doesn’t really matter that there are no tourist sights or restaurants to inspire us.

We fill the day with naps, reading, considering bookings in Mallorca for this fall, and speculating about what tomorrow will bring. Could be worse - we’re glad to have the option to take a timeout again, and grateful to our B&B in Gela for letting us cancel without penalty under the circumstances. With luck tomorrow will be more interesting than today, and in a good way.

Some pics of Licata, from the balcony of our hotel:

Keith AdamsDespite the reason for it, it's good to have a day off every now and again.

Andrea BrownLong ago when Bruce's dad was a perky 95 and doing the daily family email Morning Report, Bruce wrote to him from Laos and said that I was sick (food poisoning, probably). The hot-off-the-press MR headline went as follows: "Andrea is Baw Sabai" (not well). I hope you are both sabai dii again very soon.

Ron SuchanekGI stuff is bad enough when you're at home, but even worse when on the road. Hope it clears up soon.
