T shirts

There are things in my life I have not had the occasion to think about before coming to Italy. For instance the phrase, “to be too”.  If it was, “To be Two”, then I would get it. “To be Two” has many possibilities. When you are two years old all your behavior is blamed on your age. Later in life someone may comment that you are acting like a two year old, but is that really your fault? “To be Two” gives one the permission to act like a two year old at any age and not have it seen as a personality defect. “To be Too” gives you permission to be an also ran.


This is a shirt for your sweet little daughter. She wants to wear skulls and you want her to look cute and innocent.

We saw a pair of pajamas today that were poignant. Unfortunately I missed the shot and only got the pajamas next to the ones with the important message. It was market in Raino and busy. The pajamas were of the pants and t-shirt variety. On the t-shirt was a cubby cow. The cow’s message was, “I feel sexy tonight”. Ok, I have nothing to say about that, but what does this person wear when they don’t feel sexy? Probably a habit. Luckily this same vendor was in CVS today. I caught this couple contemplating pjs.

The last t-shirt of the day says, “Brightest London and home by”. It could be bad English, or it could be English English or it could be a fill in the blank allowing the wearer and the viewer to answer the existential question, “home by” or “not home by”.

Two days of more fun!!

 Sirente Mountains in the background.

 View from piazza in Seccinare

Jessie's camera does these cool panoramas. This is Seccinaro where we considered buying a house.

Jessie in Ovindale. It was hot and crowded and it was not market day.

Rocca di Mese: Something is just not right about this display. It was hot and crowded, but it WAS market day.

Swimming at the Gole di San Vanancia after a hot day. Vermont water temp.

 Sitting by a fountain in Raino.

 A little cool thing by a door.

More little cool things that are on the facade of the church below. I do not know what it means, but I am curious. This is also in Raino.

 Another lovely Al'Kaffe breakfast. There were so many bees we were chased inside.

 Castel di Irie Photo Shoot

 Proving the point that they will drive any road in Castel di Irie. this one is two way.

 Death defying trip to take sunflower pictures.

 His work.

This guy makes these little houses, carves old tree stumps and puts it all together to look like the landscape around here. Very sweet.

Jessie day 2

Adriatico

The water is so salty you can only float.

 Putting rocks on their stomach to see if they can sink. They couldn't. We laughed our heads off.

At the event of the evening.
