Caccia di foto

This photo, for instance, would net gain you roughly 6 points, 8 if you were in a different country. 16 if it happened in a museum where pictures are not allowed.

After a rather hectic night out, we decided to go to brunch. Church wasn't in the picture this morning. I think I'm going to go to Catholic mass at the Duomo tonight. 6pm in a language I partially understand is much more appealing than 9am in tongues. But back to our brunch. I wasn't horribly hungry, and decided to get coffee with a fruit salad (a small fruit salad, mind you) which ended up costing me 10 Euro total. I paid $14 for a coffee and fruit cup. Lame. This is why we decided that from now on, Sunday brunch will be held in our apartment, alla Chef Matteo. I can whip together something far more appetizing for 6 people using less than $14. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, gouging Italian bastards.

But something wonderful did come out of our brunch time: the photo scavanger hunt list! We've decided that over the course of the semester, we'll be having a scavenger hunt for random and ridiculous things all over Europe. For instance, if you can get a picture with a nun, 3 points. If you get a picture on a Vespa with the owner, 4 points. If you get a picture on a boat, 3 - wearing a sailor hat, 5 - with a sailor, 7. Of course there are some bigger ones, such as getting a picture with a member of a royal family, the pope, or in the process of crashing a wedding (all worth 10 points). But if you can get the picture in a foreign country? 2 bonus points. Double the points if you take the picture inside a museum that doesn't allow pictures. (Should participants be caught in the act, we are not responsible for any subsequent legal action taken against said guilty parties). We do encourage suggestions for other items on the list. The more outrageous, the better.


Ciao Bella!
