Il Dolce Far Niente: Some random shots of random people and random places

I know I promised street style posts, and I will deliver...but I had a bunch of random pics that didn't really fit into the narratives of previous posts nor do they fit into the future fashion posts, so I give you . . .

Random Observations: Some things that caught my attention

I think I mentioned this in one of my initial observations in Italy, but this was a common sight on the streets of Florence . . . Italian men in Italian suits on bicycles!

Also a common sight on the streets of Florence, these tiny dump trucks! Since the streets are so narrow, they use these tiny trucks that look like Power Wheels!

Just a statue with a cool shadow. Taken inside the Palazzo Vecchio Museum (Florence City Hall)

Giant slab of meat. That's all.

A) We found it notable that the stop signs in Italy are in English

B) The Jesus on the cross silhouette drew my eye

So both "Shiva" and the bird singing stencil are commonly found on the walls in Florence. Despite my efforts to understand the meaning of either of these tags, the Googler let me down. However- it seems that someone else noticed the bird singing stencil...and made a T-shirt for it.

Cyclist/actor/ballerino...as seen in San Gimignano

This adorable pram was spotted in Florence- not the UK!

Spotted in Florence, an Alpaca shop!

I spotted this guy doing a little stretch on the banks of the River Thames in London

Okay, I can say this because I'm Asian- but aren't Asians the cutest tourists?

Gorgeous wall covered in ivy, spotted in Rome

The subway in Rome was a night mere. Some trains looked like these, covered in graffiti, and some were new and sparkly. But all of them were stinky on the inside, and full of pick-pockets and creepers!
