Kid with a gun: taken at a restaurant on Rhodes island (in Greece)

Tiger vs. dragon: taken at a restaurant outside of San Gimignano (a little town 1.5 hrs drive from Florence). The picture is about a cat eating a snake. This took place during my lunch at San Gimiganao. This cute little cat was just strutting around in the restaurant, then all of a sudden, the guy sitting next to us jumped up in fright, and we saw this cat was playing with a little snake under his chair. I was too stunned to take a picture when the cat was playing with the snake, but managed to take one when the cat was eating it.

Gypsy con-girls: taken at the square of the Eiffel Tower. This group of Gypsy girls were individually walking around with a little note in their hands, they would approach you and ask if you speak English, and if you say "yes", they will show you that little note which writes something like "my dad died, and my mother and my sisters and I are starving, we are trying to raise money to go home, could you give us some money". One lady from our tour group gave one of them 2 euros, but then after a while I found a whole group of them huddling together for a little meeting ...

Famous beach: taken at a beach outside the city of Sorrento, in Italy. I like it's name.

Lover's island: There is also a rather interesting rock near the Famous beach. The rock is about the size of a dinner table, and it's about 30 meters from the beach. Some guy bought it and put a plastic palm tree on the rock, and now he punts lovers to this little rock, so the lovers could kiss and cuddle under the palm tree. I do have a photo for this rock, but it's pretty blurred.

Speaking of cats, there were so many stray cats in Croatia and Greece. This one time, a cat wandered under our tour bus before we were to go off to dinner, and when someone tried to get it out, it got scared and jumped onto the spare tire on the under carriage of the bus and wouldn't get out. After about 30 minutes of trying, we decided to drive away to our dinner place with the cat on board. So, the cat meowed all the way to the restaurant, and every time we stopped at an intersection, we'd draw curious stares from people walking past us as they heard meowing from the bus.

The food was good, but nothing spectacular ... however there was unlimited wine and beer and soft drinks.

holy crap! thats a toy gun!?

No, that's not a toy gun, it's an anti-alien sub-atomic beam weapon which could annihilate an entire continent at only 50% of its full power. Luckily the kid didn't have the batteries in it. :biggrin:
