Milton is busy putting photos on the blog and it is my task to make more social observations.
Fashion is BIG - and most Italians are extremely well dressed. This includes small children. I have priced some toddler and baby clothes and they are very stylish , beautifully made and extremely expensive.
In spite of the dietary staples of pizza and pasta we see very few overweight Italians.
Smoking is widespread. There
is a ban on smoking inside restaurants but that does not stop people lighting up at the outside tables.
Along with potential lung cancer I must also assume that skin cancer is not a worry either as many Italians, especially women, are extremely tanned.
The range of calendars available for the tourist dollar is huge. Of note is the one featuring 12 very sexy looking priests. Or at least 12 very sexy looking men wearing clerical garb. If only I knew a good Catholic girl I could buy this one for! (Marg B or Michelle I thought of you both and then discarded the thought.)
This calendar is only rivalled by the one featuring various sculptured penises from statues in Italy.

Always good to hear your observations. We are still in Minneapolis. Leah pointed out that there is a link between smoking and weight. Especially, if all you have for breakfast is a coffee and cigarettes! Enjoy France!!
