If you travel with us you should have a sense of humor. We do our share of cathedrals and places of awe and majesty.  But kids get a little maxed out with awe and majesty after a while.  And since their mother is a bit of a crack up always trying to insert levity into the day you might find us….

striking a pose….

do you see what I have to work with here, people?

maybe an impromptu game of foosball?  Can't explain this table cemented into the sidewalk. 

We admire the ingenuity of the locals….

and try to mingle with the crowd.  You're supposed to do that you know. 

We try not to pass judgement on things we can't exactly understand.  Like this…

It probably takes half the time to clean anyway. ; D 

We are always, always on our very best behavior.  The height of propriety at all times….

We chuckle at signs….

 

We make faces back at gargoyles..

We brake for gelato.

(spaghetti style is a fave)

and as the saying goes we…

But be advised that sometimes that is more challenging than others…

For instance, we never did figure out the automated, self-cleaning potty (though I really wish I had one at home!) which resulted in a high speed run to McDonald's where we slowed down long enough to allow for a certain passenger to fly out of the vehicle in the nick of time.  (You should also know that in this country restrooms are sorta optional, and it is a good idea to guard your eyes when passing open fields on the roadsides… Yeah.  Not for us.) 

Anyway, I was laughing may way through editing and thought I'd share. Have a fabulous weekend!
