This photo was taken in Julian, California not long after I arrived in the USA. I was fascinated to see someone actually wearing a ‘cowgirl’ hat. I know this is going to sound so funny to the Americans reading this, but honestly when you live in another country, you aren’t sure whether to believe certain stereotypes exist. Anyway, I’m extremely happy to find that people actually wear Stetsons (is that what they’re called?) and when we were in Texas my dear husband had to physically remove me from the shop before I bought myself some boots and matching hat. Not sure that an Aussie girl could have pulled it off in SoCal.
