I spend most of the week in Pisa, and I work near the Field of Miracles... you can imagine how many tourists I see throughout the year. I have always wondered why the local people are more often rude than they are nice to both tourists and students (who also account for a large percentage of the "foreign" population of the city). Sometimes it looks like they are a nuisance rather than a resource. Well said! And a very nice post! Gloria This is so true!
