been having problems with the mobile phone service, TIM, here. ida and i have been looking for this guy, silvio*, for the last week or so without luck (and TIM being down didn't help). today ida decided we would just drive around the village to look for him....i just sat in the passenger side and laughed at the situation the whole time....i suggested we buy a megaphone, which might be more effective than just looking....perhaps we could borrow one of those trucks that sell goods (they drive around the village, broadcasting what they have. the first time i heard this, all the way in the hotel, i thought it was the call to prayer....then i remembered this was italy).
*if i can't recall some guy's name here in Troina, i can always take a guess that his name is silvestro, or silvio for short. 9 out of 10 times i'd be right. (st. silvestro is the patron saint of Troina....)
