I see old people...

This morning I went off to visit the market and have a caffe as usual and I noticed something very strange. There were tons of pasty white northern European senior citizens everywhere on the street. They stick out so much down here it’s amazing, of course, wearing shorts is a dead give away. This could only mean one thing…the cruise ships are back. I saw a few people a couple weeks ago but the numbers have definitely picked up. I don’t remember this happening last year but maybe I didn’t notice. I asked the guy behind the counter at the bar about this and he said I should have seen yesterday. So evidently while I’m at work hundreds of cruisers are in the town everyday. I had no idea it was like this and by lunchtime they are all back on the ship and gone. Just an interesting little note, I can’t sit in this chair any longer as I fell asleep in the sun this afternoon and I have a pretty toasted back. Yes, I had sunscreen on but... it was only No 6 as I’m going for a darker look this year and I was trying to get a head start on these naturally dark Italians. So much for that idea…
