The weather has cleared up so much since I first arrived in Italy in January. The sun is shining brighter, and nature is in bloom! It is nice to finally go outside without wearing a jacket, and the streets feel more lively as people enjoy the spring weather.
There is an influx of pigeons here in Italy, especially at the Duomo Square. It is a fun activity to feed the birds, because they start flying to you in large groups! I also saw plenty of dogs; there are a variety of breeds among locals, but one common thing about the dogs is how small they are! Owners love their dogs very much, and even dress them up in cute outfits. It is also common for dogs to walk with their owners without a leash; that is how strong their bonds are!
