pillow war

Yesterday, we rented some bicycles and had a nice ride through the park near here in Palermo. Trees, small lakes, grass, it was a lot of fun. Our next door neighbor, the yiddish-speaking Claudio was our guide.

On our way back we passed by the planetarium and there was a commotion - turns out it was an organized pillow fight. Massive. Hundreds of people, mostly teenagers, were running in with pillows and swinging wildly. A cloud of dust rose above them. The ambulance stood ready for casualties. It was organized as a sort of protest but also an act of farce.
