We have been talking a lot about road signs lately. Why many of them feature red and white, why many tell you what not to do rather what to do. Sophie who is just learning to read realized she usually doesn't need to 'read' at all when she sees a road sign. We took a walk in the city, Jake taking photographs, Sophie walking around wide-eyed realizing how much she can 'read' already. 'Look, Mummy, there is a payphone! And there is a hotel close by... We are not supposed to take photographs here', et cetera. We even discovered ancient signs, carved in marble about hundreds of years ago when Venice ruled Verona and spread its icon, the winged lion of Saint Mark, all over the place.
