Remember the mysterious girls on the vaporetto and their extraordinary hair? I’ll remind you:
They seemed not even to know each other, but the odds on their all meeting up on the morning school vaporetto run are incalculable.
But not many days later, we came upon extravagant tresses again. Who are these people?
The similarities between these damsels are too obvious to need comment, but I’m fascinated by the rebel in the middle. Not dressed in black! Short hair! She is clearly impervious to whatever strange force is directing the other girls. Lino, on the other hand, can’t stop marveling at the fact that they didn’t move over to make room for everybody to sit comfortably. Four people obviously together who all are fine with one of them just perching on the corner?
By all means, come to Venice to look at palaces and canals. But occasional glimpses of people here are sometimes more extraordinary than almost everything else.
