Unusual Vehicles



We saw this cool car that was black and white in Assisi. It was a sports car made by the manufacturer of the SmartCar, and it was tiny! So cute! James took a picture of it to show you.

James took a picture of a traffic light on wheels—he was the only one to notice it, but we’re glad he did!

The garbage and recycling trucks are adorable—only a little bigger than the three wheeled truck we showed you earlier. We have a picture of a recycling truck (sorry, it’s not that great) taken from our taxi, and another photo of a much bigger truck on the street.

On Ashley’s post she included a picture of the mail delivery system in Assisi—note the lack of anything to prevent people from taking mail out of the motorcycle. Also, we couldn’t manage to politely take a picture of the mail carrier (we discreetly photographed the motorcycle while she was inside of a building), but the uniform was really funny- picture the neon yellow vests used by police who are directing traffic, but in more of a tunic length over whatever she happened to be wearing. On her feet, she had black sneakers with purple laces!

We’re really enjoying keeping our eyes peeled for different modes of life!
