Today is my last evening in Sicily and Catania, Catania and I were so far not so on a common wavelength. Tonight at the Cafe Etoile d'Or near the Botanical Gardens and Villa Bellini have completed my son and I to our almost daily home visit Cafe. At Café, Aperol Spritz and an iced tea served with chips we have several lots Uno ushered in the evening, because right until Restaurants 20 Open Clock.

It struck me, since none consumed something and the rest of the tables were occupied but. And it could happen quite, that to a man, sitting alone and cafe drank another further to put.

When I went to checkout, in the cafes there is someone at the door, the collected, I could not pay, because the employee (Owner?) just an old – frail man – a hot meal on the plate held out and assigned in a place. The man was a little overwhelmed at the moment and I also.

At the box office, I then paid not only my drinks, but also a few food.
