I'm not spooked ~ nor surprised...something has seemed to "click" between us :-) Living in Italy was a very rich experience ~ learning about another culture and being open to envelope it and become "one" with it are such profound actions. So glad I did. When I first visited Italy, I tried very hard to be clandestine when taking pictures. As I became comfortable with the language and the people (SOOOO warm and friendly), I simply asked them if I could photograph them. I have actually penned a short story about a homeless woman in Milan that I befriended and got to know more about ~ this came as a result of my newfound willingness, humility and confidence. No doubt you will see a layout with Sylvie someday :-)

I love this layout for the challenge. People watching is one of the great pleasures of travel. Great work here.
