However, there are some things to avoid:
– Running shoes (it’s best to find leather shoes)
– Jeans
– T-shirts
– Sunglasses (unless prescribed)
– watches
– Cell phones, mp3 players, iPad, iPhone and other electronic must stay hidden (leave them in your car, building or camp)
– Bring a mug to avoid walking with a can of beer or soft drink or juice boxes
– Camouflage strollers with fabrics like burlap
Remember that the respect and the effort of the decorum of each person allows all the participants to be totally immersed in the unique world that is Bicolline and to really feel transported elsewhere!
