It's a very, very fine one. <br /><br />My sister, while she was here, told me how surprised she was by all of the tagging and graffiti. I often have been, too. I've both found it jarring to see this kind of thing in Europe. I know that seems odd and inexplicable, but there you have it. <br /><br />Boo to the bozo who tagged that statue and all the other bozos who tag. Talk about selfish and inconsiderate!Janet M Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927469354253835774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-82719111460439018292010-02-18T10:33:58.122-06:002010-02-18T10:33:58.122-06:00I see what you mean (re: your comment on Paree)......I see what you mean (re: your comment on Paree)...I agree with you about "tagging."
