He was taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of her

She was looking at the carpets. He was taking a picture of her looking at the carpets. I would not take a picture of her just looking at those carpets but I thought I would take a picture of him taking a picture of her looking at those carpets. And as I did, I heard someone taking a picture behind me. I turned around and saw a guy taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of her looking at the carpets. The guy behind me and I laughed out loud, these two turned around but could not understand what it was about. Here we are, no matter how innocent and boring the thing you are doing is, be prepared for someone taking a picture of it. And the more people do, the more attractive it often becomes for others to do it too.

The guy behind me got the money shot of course, I did not get much.

In Athens, Greece.

Army of dead soldiers

Drought.



But this two-headed little guy at the edge is still alive.

Where to go?

We are thinking about going away for the weekend and are choosing between Odessa, which is on the Black Sea in Ukraine and Constanta, which is also on the Black Sea but in Romania.



Both cities are their respective countries' largest ports. Odessa is slightly over 110 miles away, Constanta is a bit further away at 285 miles.

Odessa is a Russian speaking city even though it is in Ukraine. We were told that in Soviet Union it was known as one of the most Jewish cities in the USSR and also as the "capital of humour" (yes, I also struggled to put "USSR" and "humour" together in a sentence). It was founded in 1794 by a decree of the Empress Catherine the Great and was known as "Southern Palmyra" and "pearl of the Black Sea".

Constanta is the oldest city in Romania, Ovid used to live in exile there. It is about three times smaller than Odessa (which has a population of about a million).

I think we are leaning towards Odessa.
