A Farewell to Europe

So its almost over... and im sorta reflecting on the randomness and some of the weird things i have seen on this trip and just about every city has one thing that just boggles my mind whether it be some festival or whatever. Like Venice for instance has a huge pigeon problem and tourists actually buy them more feed and go out into the croud, and the locals sell the seed like i mean really i guess they have accepted that they cant really fight these things but really it was weird. these birds literally attack you if you have any envelope package looking like the ones that have seed.
Youll see in the picture here its really outta control not to sure why they would do this i mean these things arent exactly clean, though i did see one smart person who brought there dog down and literally didnt have to walk him anymore after about 15 minutes he had gone in circles chasing the little buggers. And look at this ladies face shes just thrilled--->

And then just today it was gorgeous in Vienna so i decided to stroll around and they are setting things up for christmas getting all these little cabin huts set up to sell stuff. Nexst thing i know i look up at this gorgeous building and see all these numbers in the windows.. Im thinking to myself whats with the rondomness of the numbers is it some lottery number and they just tossed it up on this huge building for the hell of it then bam it hits me...
THEY TURNED IT INTO A HUGE ADVENT CALENDER... take agood look at this thing, crazy.. speachless
I nearly dropped its genious, i mean really genious, and it looks damn good see for yourselves

These Austrians really scored some points with me on this one, the thing that sucks is i wont be around for any of the revelations as to whats behind these damn things. They got me excited and well im sure Austrians must be loosing sleep over this thing like could you imagine if they were these huge chocolates in the windows, incredible then they bring it down and cut it all up for the people. That would be great. Chances are its just a painting or something but could you imagine, what if they are themed like the ones we got back home, like man oh man could be like goofy or something, some crazy Austrian cartoon. Who knows, though we are in austria so its more likely to be famous skiers or something.

Another thing that surprised me was one night in Florence i happened to show up the same night as the anniversary of a flood that ravaged the city 40 years ago. They had set up this crazy laser show that made it look like the river was flooding over it was pretty wild, i will try and get a video down here but no promises. Well not to sure the video will work was funky but maybe not as cool for all you..
But it has really been the surprises that have made the trip the unexpecteds because we all know we are gonna see the eiffel tour and a bunch of churches so each little surprise or neat experience has really been the greatest part of this trip along with the different people i have met along the way..

Oh and i shaved my head the other day, kinda a big deal as i havent varied from the same dew in well a lifetime, got a bit of a widows peak but im still gorgeous so no worries here and less maintenance. Malark maybe you can toss some general tips my way for sportin a little more scalp then normal.
cheers
Stay Precious
Bob

  • First off - I would punch every fucking bird in the face.

    Now that that's outta the way, Bob, please post a large version of the advent calendar so we can actually click on it and see it, it looks awesome.

    Thirdly, all I can say is love yourself the way you are Bob - works for me.

    Miss you - and glad to see you made it to Oz. Grope Kilmer inappropriately as soon as you see him, preferably in a crowd, and tell him I can't wait to have him back in my arms.
