I miss how in Spain sometimes it was just like "Time to dar un paseo!" and folks just went out and walked around like "Isn't this nice?"
Totally banal observation, but I do think it’s a good thing that everyone in small Italian towns apparates at around sundown to hang around and say CIAO at each other in the town square while drinking coffee I think this habit is probably good for humans
