While in the water at the beach this man was trying to sell us beach cover-ups and he would not go away, even after us making it clear we weren't going to buy anything. He kept calling us Julia too...like that would flatter us into buying one. I don't want one, go away.
They do this kind of thing every where. In Venice we were siting on the steps of a church eating dinner and a man comes up with roses and tries to "give" us one (you are never given anything here, you always have to pay in some way). I say no several times so then he moves down the line where we all say no thank you multiple times. Then he gets to my sister where he says they are friends and he just wants to give her a rose and he even tried putting it in her hand! These people are relentless.
So, warning for you, if you ever find yourself in Italy, just say no :)
