How are they not shvitzing?


So the title of the post is probably spelled wrong... my Yiddish is a little rusty, but despite the nearly 80 degree temperatures the locals still wear their hideous puffy, metallic coats with boots and leather pants/long pants. Then they give us disgusted looks for wearing cute sun dresses, or shorts, or even if I was wearing jeans with a tank top I'd get bad looks as well. I just don't get it. Apparently if we aren't covered they assume that we are prostitutes or something, which is just silly because the Ann Taylor Loft dress Gabby wore the other day, and floor length dress I wore is nothing any prostitutes I've seen would wear. Plus, do they really think that white patent leather boots are stylish?

Anyways, I'll stop with the rant. Weather.com said it was going to be a high of 72 today, but laying in the sun at the park, sweating, I feel like it was at least 80 today. It was gorgeous. We packed lunches, drinks, blankets and books and spent a few hours getting some color for our ghostly pale bodies and relaxing since our trip to Naples was canceled. We then treated ourselves to gelato and made our way home. The park was packed with tourists and locals, as well as many street performers and bikers. Despite all the locals around our neighborhood, on the tram and on the street giving us looks, they tan in their bras so they can't be giving us looks, I'm sorry. It's just not fair. There were many different aged women around the park who had simply taken off their shirts to tan. Such as in the picture, the group of 60 year olds. Nonetheless it was a really nice, relaxing day in the sun and I even may have gotten a slight tan. Tomorrow we'll probably do the same but do homework and do it on our balcony. For now... dinner time!
