I first noticed them at the Forum. A large gathering of yellow dots, aimlessly scattering about. As I looked closely I noticed the small outline of what looked to be a hat. As I put everything together, it was a group of young children, clearly on a field trip to learn more about this city they live in. How do you keep track of 30 small, energetic children? Well the answer is simple...have them all wear the same color of hat. For some reason I still can't imagine how a child doesn't get lost within the large crowds of tourists. But they're everywhere. The hats I mean. From what I've seen, they come in red, yellow and white. It's just one of those odd fascinations I have noticed throughout my time here in Rome, and thought I'd share it...you know you've seen them too!
