Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a barber in Peschiera-del-Garda is like riding a rollercoaster. One minute you’re chillin’, the next you’re dodging drama like it’s a game of dodgeball. So, let me break it down for ya.
I roll into the shop on Via Roma, sun shining, birds chirping. Feels good, right? Wrong! My first client, Marco, walks in lookin’ like he just got outta a tornado. Hair everywhere! I mean, dude, it’s like he was attacked by a pack of wild raccoons. I’m like, “Bro, what happened?” He just shrugs and says he was at the beach. The beach! In Peschiera, right by the lake! I mean, c’mon, how do you mess up that bad?
So, I get to work, snippin’ away, and suddenly, the door swings open. In walks this lady, all flustered. Turns out, she’s lost her dog. I’m like, “Lady, you’re in the wrong place!” But she’s all frantic, and I can’t just ignore her. So, I’m like, “Alright, let’s help ya out.”
We hit the streets of Peschiera, and let me tell ya, it’s a maze! We’re runnin’ down Via Cavour, past the old fortress. I’m tryin’ to keep her calm, but she’s a hot mess. I’m thinkin’, “Why did I leave my coffee at the shop?” I need caffeine to deal with this!
We finally spot the little pup near the lake. It’s just chillin’ by the water, like it’s on vacation or somethin’. I’m like, “Seriously, dog? You had us worried!” The lady’s all teary-eyed, and I’m just relieved. I mean, who knew a day at work would turn into a rescue mission?
Back at the shop, I’m still buzzin’ from the adrenaline. Next up is Giovanni, a regular. He’s always got some wild story. Today, he’s ranting about the new gelato place on Via San Martino. Apparently, they’ve got this crazy flavor—saffron and pistachio. I’m like, “Dude, that sounds like a food crime!” But he swears it’s the best thing ever. I’m skeptical, but hey, I’ll try anything once.
Then, outta nowhere, the power goes out! Just my luck, right? I’m in the middle of a fade, and suddenly it’s pitch black. I’m like, “Great, now I’m a barber in a horror movie.” But the customers are cool. We’re all just laughin’ and crackin’ jokes. I’m tellin’ ‘em about the time I tried to cut my own hair. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well.
Finally, the lights flicker back on, and I finish up Giovanni’s cut. He looks in the mirror and says, “Man, you’re a magician!” I’m like, “Nah, just a barber with a lotta caffeine.”
As the day winds down, I’m sweepin’ up hair and thinkin’ about how wild it was. Peschiera-del-Garda is a gem, man. The lake, the old streets, the vibe—it’s all part of the chaos. I love it.
I close up shop, head to the lake for a breather. The sunset over Garda is unreal. I’m sittin’ there, thinkin’ about the day. It was crazy, emotional, and full of surprises. Just another day in the life of a barber in Peschiera. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
