People

The historical sites, museums,

architectural wonders, 

gourmet and not-so-gourmet eateries, 

charming old cobblestone streets 

and quaint neighborhoods are all well and good. 

But one of the most enjoyable 

and educational things to do when traveling 

is people watching.

Here, in no particular order, 

is a modest sampling.
