Bocce?

A European beach, or an Italian beach to specify.

If your Australian you would never experience having to pay to use a space of sand in your own town. Admittedly, there are 'free beaches', but very few.


What I really want to talk about is the group of seniors playing Bocce on the beach. These people can barely walk, yet they have the ability to throw and collect and carry two balls that I would say weigh in the order of 2kgs, if not more. The gentlemen in their 'European' bathing costumes tanned to a 'well done', with their straw hats upon their heads, bellies hanging over spindly little legs. These people have more spatial awareness and accuracy then I could ever hope for. It is the camera only that does this justice.
