Back to Loire!

Because we haven't gotten to blog (much) about our new wonderful Aussie friends at Chateau du Guerinet, Dave and Corina, here are a couple quick photos. First, it's us on the porch. Second, it's us at dinner. Left to right, Rebecca, Peter (two other, very nice, Aussie guests, who were headed to Seattle this week), then Corina, then us. Unfortunately, you can't see Dave he's taking the pic! We'll write more about them in future blogs!

More random photos

It's impossible to take a bad photo in Italy, so here's some more I haven't uploaded yet. Note: our costumes have evolved.




Nacho Libre!


Here’s us with an Italian-Mexican wrestler. Or is it Mexican-Italian? Mucha-Lucha!

PIKACHUUUUUU!

We assume this video contains the cheer for an Italian futbol (i.e. soccer) team, but why half a dozen of them were dressed as pikachus, we’re not sure. It made us laugh nonetheless!

It’s all very "Eyes Wide Shut".


Here’s a sampling of some of the costumes we’ve been seeing. There are varying levels, some are crazy elaborate, while others are just street clothes and a mask. However everyone walks around with something. The elaborate people just walk and stand around while everyone mobs them to take a photo. John and I even had people ask for photos twice, and we weren’t that dressed up! But everyone loves his nose. “Mate, that’s a big nose ye’ave!” was one of the first things said to him after we arrived.
