"Great!" Jac says with a smile. He stands up and pulls Mira's chair back 
for her, "After you."

The pair walk back out and down the stairs, passing a few people coming 
up to Carlissimo's.

Jac and Mira stroll along the well lighted sidewalks through the old 
city. Jac points out University Halls and entrances to "quads" which 
would be empty this time of night, but would be teeming with students 
during the day. They stop at a sidewalk stand and buy a sweet pastry 
called a spolato that is served wrapped in crispy white paper and large 
stryrofoam cups of steaming coffee. The spolato is a spiral pastry and 
tastes of sugar and sweet fruits. There is a creamy center inside the 
coils of dough that has a slightly milky taste. The coils are segmented 
and can be pinched off, or bitten off, allowing for small bite sized 
pieces to be eaten.  Sipping the coffee and eating small pieces of the 
spolato allows the pair to continue to stroll along, chat and enjoy 
their dessert.

Leaving the lighted streets, Jac leads Mira into a park. The couple 
stroll along a gravel path in the park, past a small pond then past a 
large open field where people play and picnic during the day. By this 
time they have finished their dessert and drop the empty cups and paper 
wrappings into wastebaskets at the edge of the park.

On the otherside of the park, you emerge just across from a large gothic 
Cathedral. There are lights inside, it appears a service of some sort is 
going on.  You can hear the faint sounds of organ music coming from 
inside. On the street outside there are several cars parked, including a 
taxi.

"Do you want to go in and listen?" Jac asks.
