Beauty in Baltimore( excuse the typos ): Vacation in Italy
http://beautyinbaltimore.blogspot.com/2012/02/vacation-in-italy.html
Beauty in Baltimore( excuse the typos ). Wednesday, February 01, 2012. I would really like to go to Italy for my vacation this year. Just read that two African immigrants were killed in Florence. There seems to be increasing animosity towards immigrants in Italy since the economic downturn. This makes me afraid . What will happen to me if I turn down the wrong street after the sun goes down? When will the world economy turn around? Or is the West done? Labels: african immigrants killed in Florence Italy.

No lie oooh, it look he had stapled a carpet down to his chest(or maybe he is related to bigfoot. You know I was not ...

Unabashedly following me for blocks, waiting outside stores until I was done looking around, walking up behind me panting heavily or slowing their pace to walk beside me, crossing the street when I crossed, etc. With 2 of the guys, after several blocks, I had to stop in my tracks, turn and yell, "Stop following me!
