. . . Overheard near the Pantheon, from a little boy being pushed in a stroller, as he rounded the corner and the Pantheon came into view: "Oooh, stop! I wanna play here for a while°! Me too, little buddy!
. . . To be included on the growing list of people who should be fined for major infractions of courtesy and common sense: those who approach a zone clearly occupied by someone else (me), and toss breadcrumbs to the pigeons. On the plus side, if getting pooped on by a pigeon is lucky, how lucky must I be to have been pooped on in St. Peter's Square! Whooo!
. . . Again, I have to reiterate, how do you dog-lovers handle it? Specifically, by "it" I mean the slobber and stench and destruction. Are all dogs this disgusting? If I had a choice between living in the same room as a dog (or at least a dog like the one I'm now living with) and living in the same room as a smoker, I would definitely choose the smoker. And if that option weren't available, I think I would take up smoking myself. Smoke: the carcinogenic potpourri!
. . . Favorite study spaces: (1) St. Peter's Piazza, (2) the Roman Forum. Isn't it awesome, that I can grab my books and "take care of business" in places like that!?
Happy St. Nicholas Day! Be sure to check your shoes for candy (but after checking for pigeon poop and dog droppings)!
