The chronicle (when I have internet access) of my travels through Italy, Spain, and Morocco this summer.

graffiti

While I find Perugia pretty well kept, I've stumbled across some excellent writings. I thought them worth taking pictures of at the time, and looking back at them, I want to go take a few more to see if I can really get a gem of a shot. Unfortunately, this first one was in Naples. If I hadn't been with a large group on the way to catch our bus, I probably could have gotten a really cool shot. As it is, I like the graffiti itself. It's not art, but it's a great representation of the international political and economic environment within Italy.




In English: "Burn the banks. Even you can do it." This next one was found in Perugia, on a late, late, late night walk with Chelsea. We came back the next day.




And finally, I love this one most. It's the same handwriting as "Empress, I love you so!!!," and it was found nearby. I can only assume some woman sees them both walking home every evening.



In English: "Without you, nothing makes sense. I love you." Which, in very romantic terms, might sum up my life in Italy right now.
