It made me very aware of what was happening around me and in our world. It kept me busy, and grounded, and mostly upbeat. I want to say, it was a huge benefit for me to write this account. It was quite the marathon! I posted everyday for 83 days. Martedì – Today I am announcing that I will stop my daily posts. Same as yesterday.ġ,654,683 cases in the US – 97,974 deaths. There are 1,430 positive cases in Umbria. Up JUST 0.1% – 32,877 total deaths since beginning of the outbreak. Mmm perfect for this time of year.Ģ30,158 positives in Italy. Next thing I know she had bought me a mask…just like hers! She is so sweet.

I complemented Irene on her pretty flowered mask. It is due for a servicing so that’s next. We had received our battery charger a couple days ago and it had been hooked up and charging for a couple days. The last thing was to see if the Porsche would start after it’s dead battery issues. We recognized all the checkout women from the old store 🙂. It does stay open all day, unlike the old Conad. Better than the old Conad but still nothing much different than all small Italian supermarkets. All masked but still… I didn’t feel very comfortable. On the way back we visited the newly opened, Carrefour supermarket for the first time. First, we visited the market where I bought fave beans, tiny zucchini, the crisp cucumbers, rucola, and fresh eggs! The last five uova! I also took some pictures. I guess we wait a week or two to see if we get spikes in the virus. Last night the young people partied into the night at Cafe Centrale.

Today, Saturday, dawned gray but cleared by midday after rain all night.
