See those tables down there under the night sky? This is a scene from a birthday party given for one of the owners of the caffe shown in the background. To the right is a DJ who played ’til about midnight. After dinner, everybody danced, including me. I did my Travolta/Pulp Fiction imitation. Nobody noticed. There were: Italians, Romanians, Albanians, Americans, Sri Lankans, Nigerians, French, Germans, Brits, young, old, infirm, hard working, ‘Well to do”, Religious, Agnostics, waiters and cooks. Everybody having a good time of it. Why isn’t it like this the world over? What ‘Special’ is going on here? I mean the birthday man was only 65 years old – it’s not like he was a hundred and ten, or won the Peace Prize or anything. It was just an excuse to have an extra good time. O.M.G. there is another party scheduled for tonight. This one is to celebrate the cooking of several of the local restaurants. Food will be served in the Piazza. There will be music, of course. Sometimes I think we are having too much of a good time…is it something in the local water? Or, is there too much Round-up in the waters back in the States which makes the people back there not want to dance in the streets?
