Porcellino

Description
>>Journaling<<
"Porcellino in Florence, Italy:
We came across this statue at the market. His snout was
discolored probably because everyone touches it for good
luck. We didn’t but we did take a photo of him...

Porcellino in British Columbia:
Then we came across the same statue in Canada. So weird! We looked up its origins and deciced to touch his nose this
time around for some good luck. So fun to see him again, in a very different country!"

That is really weird that you would find the same statue in both places. But now you have an awesome story to tell! I really like how you used the country behind each photo.
