Nice walk! Do they have Citta Mercato? Might be a Catania thing but it's like the Italian Super Walmart. I could spend hours there! You are really making me miss it - I need to scan some pics for you.

Kim, I just googled Citta Mercato -- Looks like they were taken over by Auchan, which we have been to. I would've been a few hours in the one we went to, if not for the 40-pound ankle weight who thought everything besides the toy section was "boring."

At the Osaka marathon expo. Trying to let tomorrow take care of itself. Sad to say, finishing all 42.195 is a stretch goal at this point. Gonna take whatever comes to me and enjoy it...

Take it easy these days. You can do Osaka. Take pains and aches serious, but consider whether they are transistion related perhaps? Enjoy these days.
