The hours after "siesta" are prime people-watching time in Italy...everyone wakes from their afternoon nap, ventures outside to a shady bench or window sill and watches the passerbys. I love this Italian tradition, all the little old men and ladies saunter out, perched on their canes for this social hour.
Another great thing - since dryers require too much power and energy, most people opt for the air-dry method via clothes line...so resourceful, and a few wrinkles never hurt anyone.
I wish we had siesta! I am ready to move there! Great pics Michelle!

ReplyDeletethe man on the left in the first picture looks so much like my father. it almost made me cry.
ReplyDeletei love this set of photos. makes me want to be there. i've never been to italy, but i was in europe for a month, and i just love being in other countries—especially those with the old world feel like italy has. some day i will make it there. i know if i do, i will love it!
I just love how social everyone is in Europe! People come out of their houses instead of racing home to be inside them!
ReplyDeleteWhere in Italy were these pictures taken? I love them! They remind me so much of my own trip.
