I Declare! I'm Just Going to the Market!

The One Meter Rule in Line at the Market

Wayne can write on his iPad screen as one would on paper.  We downloaded the required paper work to be on the street, filled it out and saved it as an image.  That, along with our passports should give us a pass if we are stopped.  We have declared the need to have food as our raison d'être out of the apartment.

Our major activity seems to be finding a market and buying food.  Since little else is open, we have found it somewhat entertaining.  Today's wait was longer than yesterday's.  There were more people. At one point we watched the police come by and go in the market.  Were they monitoring the required capacity?  Were they looking for cannoli?  We'll never know.  They left without incident.  Then the cardboard recycling truck came by.  My what a load of cardboard that store had to be loaded and compacted  So, you can tell that life here is, well, slow.  But I think the Italians are coping better than what I hear is happening in the states.  First of all, there is plenty of toilet paper on the shelves.  I didn't even see anyone fighting for rolls.  

A little ravioli and some Netflix rounded out our day.  A few pictures of empty streets are at flickr.   Also a video of cardboard compacting.  Not something you will ever see at the Sundance Film Festival.
