Everyone here knows I'm one of those Americans so they probably expect me to go out dressed for summer in October. At least I don't go out poorly dressed, nor am I obese as they think most Americans are.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309020440645127953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-7455707905662698652011-10-08T01:23:01.039+02:002011-10-08T01:23:01.039+02:00Hi, Rosaria.

I think I've reached the stage where I do it to fit in but it's not really uncomfortable as I think my idea of what constitutes "hot" has changed as well. Hi, Lucia. I can just imagine, that, too! Enjoy your Indian summer. Very kind of you to say so, Liz.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-35829346745111314762011-10-07T18:05:46.416+02:002011-10-07T18:05:46.416+02:00And very smart you look, welshcakes!And very smart you look, welshcakes!Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-39840735866626442592011-10-07T15:25:09.217+02:002011-10-07T15:25:09.217+02:00Here in Toronto, ON Canada, it's 25 degrees yo...Here in Toronto, ON Canada, it's 25 degrees you betcha I'm wearing shorts and t-shirt tomorrow! Love what we call Indian Summer in the Autumn! And I do remember being in Sicily in September when people no longer ventured to the beach and it was so hot...I still wanted to swim but none of my cousins would swim with me.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064247260945638783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-45355735385298447302011-10-07T10:26:16.408+02:002011-10-07T10:26:16.408+02:00It's so funny the way that you can tell foreig...It's so funny the way that you can tell foreign people apart. I find I can usually tell Italians because they dress so beautifully and are elegant, and talk all the time. French are elegant and don't talk all the time. And so on. <br />If it is hot, and you're dressed for autumn, though, isn't it uncomfortable? Or is it worth doing it, just to fit in? :)Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-33589456357785666472011-10-07T03:38:25.826+02:002011-10-07T03:38:25.826+02:00Oh yes, we do bring our weather expectations with ...Oh yes, we do bring our weather expectations with us.
