I accidentally made eye contact with a dog near the cable car earlier. He took it as a sign that we are going to be friends forever, and proceeded to walk alongside Ilanna and myself for hours, waiting outside grocery stores, coming up the stairs to the lovely coffee shop, wherever. We thought he attached himself to another group of travelers for a while, as we watched as that guy tried in vain to keep the dog (named Black Nightmare, btw) from following him into the basilica. But finally, they shook him and he eventually made his way back up the stairs into the cafe.

I wonder how Black Nightmare sees this beautiful, colorful town?
