So there is another strike in Italy. It started over a week ago in Sicily but started here a few days ago. The truck drivers are striking over the high prices in gas. They are blocking the major roads not allowing the trucks with gas to refill gas stations as well as the trucks that bring materials or goods to factories or supermarkets. Everything is closing down, factories especially. People are running out of gas resulting in fewer cars on the streets. If you go to the supermarket you can find only a few things since the shelves are almost bare. We aren't sure how long the strike will last but from what I was told in Sicily they are still striking and it has already been 10 days. In Sicily, the gas has already finished and there are very few cars on the road. The food supply is dwindling in the supermarkets as well. I guess we have to start living a little more simplistic.
The positive side of this... We can go on diets! Portion control! :)
