But wait! There's more...










Here we have a little slice of Italian life... Be on the lookout. We saw scads of men sporting colorful pants, lemon, fuschia, lime, sky blue - lots of easter egg colors. Will we be seeing those here in the states in a year or so?

We saw a fair amount of people in different places preforming on street corners.





Two guys: street vendor in Florence and the "one star" hotel desk clerk, Luigi in Milano. (Nice dreads eh?)

A street water color painter, Florence.

Serious bocce action, Milan.















A sampling of women: white haired lady in Florence, a stylish bocce player in Milano (the lady with the pearls), some gypsies in Florence- (taken on the sly), art teacher on summer break selling watercolors,
and a sweet little shopkeeper in Orvieto.

I struggled with the last people post. I've been having difficulty keeping type and pics together. I keep losing the pics when I try to tidy up the text. Not sure what my
problem is...

Hey I'm not convinced I have all of these!
I will have to look through the last. I swear I don't have the guy in the orange pants... and that is essential!
I'm trying to work on a DVD for our trip. I was planning on a people section for friends and strangers.

These are really great. I'm so glad you had your camera when I was too sweaty to care.
