The Word Witch

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time. Barbara W Tuchman

A Brief Description of the Department Store in Monfalcone

Saturday arrived and Marjolein and me were in deperate of some proper groceries. To Monfalcone it was. We hopped on the bus in the pouring rain and for the first time saw the town we had briefly glimpsed in the dark on Wedenesday in daylight. It has a beautiful square shops on all sides. Stores have strange opening hours in Italy, though, so we decided to go to an actual mall. My God!! It was huge and overwhelming and after 2 (!) hours of trudging from isle to isle we hopped on bus 51 back to Duino.

Hey Sas,

Great weblog! It's very pretty. Are you having a good time? Seems like you are having read your stories. I'm sorry I haven't visited your site earlier, but, hey, I will now!! Ha ha, I am very familiar with huge malls living in the U.S. now, so I can relate!!! Good luck (it's great exercise to go shopping in these countries isn't it??) Have a great time!

Love, Vanessa
