Got a 2 day pass for the water 
busses and took #5 to Morano. We were overwhelmed
by the number of shops. We found one we liked, Oball,
and Elaine picked out necklaces and earrings. Some
picture frames. They were very nice. Now we are at a restaurant,
Trattoria
Valmarana, that Fabiana, the clerk, 
recommended for lunch while they pack it up for us. I'm
having spaghetti alla carbonatta, which is "in the coal-dealer
style". It's spaghetti with creamy sauce and bacon pieces.
An egg is broken over the hot paste which then partially cooks
it. Good. Elaine's having a fish soup that has scallops, whole
crayfish and red sauce. I had to go lay down on a grassy area
while Elaine went shopping. I'm feeling pretty lousy with this
chest cold. She came back just as I'd sat up. She'd gotten some
small goblets. We picked up our first purchases and boated back
to the hotel. I had to lay with damp cloth on my eyes. Have a
headache. Elaine got me some cold medicine.
It's about 9:00 pm and we're out in the courtyard having supper
at Aciugheta. Elaine's trying fish soup again and I'm having
spaghetti Boulanasie-meat sauce. OK but ... Elaine got some ginger/chocolate
at the candy store and went for a walk. I'm in bed.
