New characters I've encountered - Old European Couple...
I introduced you to Cigar Guy and Cruiser Lady in a previous post. Now, I want you to meet Old European Couple. I've seen them several times recently. He rides a cruiser and she rides a three wheeler. They roll along slowly together. He's in front, turning the pedals in a laid back, relaxed manner. She's right behind him on a big old adult tricycle, pedaling in equal time, just as slowly as him. They both have baskets on their bikes. I could be completely wrong, but I'm guessing they're from Italy. I can envision her cooking a monster sized lasagna, while he tells stories about the old country. They probably have a huge family that's loud and very loving. Every time I say, "Good morning, " to them, they return the greeting just as warmly and with sincere smiles. I can tell just from that brief exchange that they speak broken English. They seem to be from another time and place. As if they'd be right at home riding those bikes down a street in Italy, instead of here in South Florida. I'm curious, and I wonder if I'm even remotely right about any of this. But, I'll probably never know.
