When I go walking. From 1 to 4 p.m. I have a great deal of privacy. I encounter hardly anyone. Because my city of Carbonia (in Italian Sardinia) pretty much shuts down. Businesses close for three hours in the afternoon. For a long lunch/respite break. They reopen around 4. And close for the night around 8 or 9. Restaurants and pizza parlors may stay open longer. It's another indication of the laid-back life. In Sardinia and the rest of Italy. Unlike America. It's rare for Italian stores to stay open 24 hours. Italians want time off. It's a slower paced, more leisurely lifestyle. Which I heartily endorse. I have no trouble adapting to the Italian way. --Jim Broede
