Antlered Restaurant

 A great place to eat, or scratch your back.

Torture Museum

 
This is Bob and Joy in Rothenberg at the Torture museum. The gimick here is that they put you in the rack for free, but then you have to pay to get out.

Under the Tuscan Sun

 
In front of Francis Mayes house. The real place where the old man brought the flowers. I am told this because I haven't seen the movie, as it is a chic flick.

Large plant or tiny woman.

 
You decide.

Etruscan Grave

 
The Etruscans were here (there) long before the Romans, but they weren't as good at fighting, which is why we remember the romans, and not the etruscans. Anyway, this person was killed by a vampire bat bite on the head.

She never smiles when I cut the cheese.

Italian Bakery

 
This is an Italian bakery. Notice how no-one is wearing gloves or hair nets. That is why alcohol consumption is much more common over here, to kill the germs.

Roll, Roll, Roll your bread...

 
This is Lisa making Italian bread. Italian husbands are extra hen-pecked as Italian women developed "strike at a distance" rolling pins. Lisa learned how to make this bread in an old castle.

Tractor

 I don't quite understand why they have a tractor here as it looks like American tourists are doing all the work. Anyway, I plan to make a "European Farm Machinery" coffee table book.

Lisa picking olives

 This is a picture of Lisa picking olives. Apparently, you rake the limbs of the tree and the olives fall out. This is perfectly safe as the tree's bark is worse than its bite.

Guy Picking Olives

 
This guy has the "stand on a rickety ladder backwards in rubber boots" gene. I can't even stand on a sturdy ladder backwards in rubber boots.

Lisa in an Olive Grove

 
This is Lisa in an Olive grove. She stopped to have her picture taken while everyone else was working. Olives taste way worse straight off the tree I'm told.

Lisa's Church Retreat

 
Church Retreat, Retreat? From What? Lisa went to see Kay Authur, who didn't show up. They had a good time anyway.

Sunday School Class

 
This is a picture of most everybody in our Sunday School class. We were waiting on Pizzas after church.

The Longs

 
This is Adam and Alexis Long. They moved to California, where beatiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. Email me if you know where that quote is from. (hint, in the movie, it is referring to Aspen, Colorado).

The Long's going away lunch



This is Lisa and me at Adam and Alexis Long's going away lunch. I guess you're wondering why I have a picture of Lisa and me up if it is Adam and Alexis' going away. Hey, its MY blog. Posted by Picasa
