"So here it is serious!" It was my first thought when the three who dared to brave, for the first time this June, try a stroll through the downtown streets completely blindfolded and equipped with only a white cane, I have expressed the desire to make a new round blindfolded ...
"This system will bring all I ..." I thought to myself ... but this time do not expect the comfortable and extends trafficked roads in the historic center of Prato ... This time you'll see the problems with small daily encounters a blind man walking down busy streets with sidewalks littered with small piles and parked cars ...
And, last but not infundo, just to complicate life even more, why not go and eat a nice pizza?
So about 19 to Sunday, November 23, the gate of the provincial section of the Italian Union of Blind and Visually Impaired Prato in Via Garibaldi, Here comes again the three shady characters out again blindfolded, accompanied by three of us blind spot for the new adventure ...
And here, the comments:

--- Hello my fellow adventures!
Just to thank you for last night, everything went just fine e.. Even if the straight way was lost in that of Metastasio, the blame can only esseredata the trucker Roman (ao, but does he know the location and routes Prato!).
then I liked the progression: first dinner in the dark in a protected environment, then stroll downtown yesterday blindfolded and blindfolded ride pizza ... really well done, at least the predicament of the first time in the dark was over ...
I was rather impressed by the need to remain as calm as possible during times of potential danger, while a car that comes through, the pilot dell'Asmiu that gave us the truck with her hair ... moments where would you instinctively accelerate, muoverti il più velocemente possibile per trovarela soluzione al problema, ma...al buio non sai dove andare, correndo rischi solamente di peggiorare la situazione, urtando, inciampando o perdendo l'orientamento.Sei quindi costretto ad accettare questa tua vulnerabilità ed importi un ritmo più lento.
Vi do appuntamento alla prossima (in treno?)
A presto...
Diego
