Part 4 of “Dogs in Inappropriate Places”. I call it “Where’s My Chair?”.
This is the local wine bar that we go to every once in awhile, Bevo Vino. Also very funny was the little tail sticking out of the door…
Our friend Amanda came and visited this last weekend. Poor Jim. Instead of one seven year old to deal with, he had two. Expect lots of photos!
It’s obvious that I’m not Italian, but most of the reasons don’t make me stand out in a crowd:
But these things are all pretty small. Not ALL Italian women wear skin tight jean or boots. After I have colored my hair, the whole blondish thing is much less noticeable. When I am wearing my sunglasses, they fit right in with the style that all of the cool Italians wear. (Square frames, wide arms.)
But the thing that makes me stand out in a crowd (at least right now):
Yesterday, it was positively comfortable. Highs near 70 °F, sunny skies, beautiful!! And I was the only person not wearing a jacket. This makes me think that the summers here are absolutely brutal.
You might remember, there are a lot of dogs in Florence. People take their dogs everywhere. That’s OK. I don’t care. I am not afraid of germs, in fact I think people need more germs. But that’s another story. I’m starting a new photojournalism project while I’m here. I’m going to take pictures of dogs that I see in odd places. Here are the first entries.
