Who wears short shorts? European men, apparently.

Starting with our Roman host and his pj's, and then again in his swimsuit, European men are seizing the opportunity to show off some hairy leg. I think that most men's swim trunks and athletic shorts are actually shorter than any pair of shorts I own!
And if they're not sporting the short shorts, the speedo is the only way to go. Those things are everywhere! On every other European guy.
But I have to give them props - it takes guts to walk around in spandex that little. Want to test someone's manhood? Make him walk around for a day in a speedo. =)

Which brings me to my next topic - modesty in Europe, or lack thereof?

Leslie and I are sometimes left gaping at some of the things women wear and the abundance of explicit magazines posted everywhere - at every tobacco stand and convenient store.
You know, the material in the back room only allowed to be seen and bought by those ages 18 and up. Not the case here, it's all out in the open on every other corner.
And women get very comfortable at the beach. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
After all, it's a completely different culture! And it's interesting to be a spectator...
