10 Days

Today is day 10 of my trip to Cefalu and it has already proved interesting. I have run into many people from last summer-including the creeps (and by that most of you know who I mean). The funny thing is, they (and he) don't seem half as creepy as they did last summer. Here is my After 10 Days list of what I have noticed in Cefalu.

11. Italian men seem to love fanny packs. Apparently it is the "in" thing.

10. The mullet has made a comeback among 11-17 year old boys

9. Most Sicilian women still don't like female tourists no matter how much you smile at them. 

8. But if you are friends with them, they will make sure you are always ok and have your back...for the most part...

7. Italian men love women...this is no surprise but even when they are 90 years old with missing teeth, no hair, thick eyeglasses, are probably deaf and need a walker, they will still use all their energy to get a good stare. 

6. What is it about the lifeguards here...ERUH!

5. Somehow these guys are able to pull off a popped collar, stunna shades, a mad strut, while smoking a cigarette. In the states I would view this as douchebaggy...but here...it is kind of attractive, I am ashamed to say.

4. When people end a phone call there is no shortage of ciao. I don't actually know when to hang up. After the first one, or the 15th one...

3. Everyone has affairs...EVERYONE. This I will never understand. 

2. I have come to find the smell of cigarette smoke comforting. 

1. Besides the beach in cefalu, there is nothing to do...absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, niente...and I like it
