Amir's Photos -- Europe 2000

July 2000
I went to Europe this summer for the first time, with ma, pa, and bro, where we visited Paris, Vienna, and then Rome. If it appears that these photos are focused mostly on me, well, it's because they are. Beware, though...there are some pictures that aren't suitable for people under 18 years old. Parents, please keep your kids away. I recommend putting them to bed, and then looking at these pictures once you have some privacy.

Paris

The standard required picture of the Eiffel Tower. It was actually pretty cool because for the New Year, they displayed a "2000" in lights at the center of the tower, which you might be able to barely make out..


Your trusty tourguide taking a picture of himself from the top of the Eiffel Tower. You can see a famous thing in the background (but I don't remember what it is).

	So, we were at the Palace of Versailles, and we took a tour around the famous gardens in a horse-drawn carriage. I had the opportunity to sit up in front with the carriage driver, and here is a picture from the pilot's seat. On the left is Hercule and on the right is Iris.

A shot of the Champs Elysees at night, with the Arc de Triomphe at the end. Kinda nice...

	During our last day in Paris we took a boat ride on the Seine. From left to right, here's yours truly who's busy pondering, my mom, and my bro. Behind us are Katherine, Isabelle, and Jacques. (Those might not be their real names, since I don't know who they are. But I'm really good at guessing people's names.)

Vienna

	We drove out one day to Burgenland, which is the countryside part of Austria with a lot of small wine-makers. Here I am in a dangerous situation, lost in a trench, trying to figure out how to get out.

Rome

And for our final destination, here is part of the fam (bro, ma, and I) in front of the Colosseum. It looked amazingly similar to one of the stadiums that was shown in the movie "Gladiator".

And now, for the entertainment portion of your tour. Throughout this entire trip, I was shocked at how many European women were willing to show off their bare chests. Take a look at a few instances...
WARNING: The following scenes are not suitable for younger viewers because they contain nudity. Lots of it.

	Back at Versailles, in a picture with my dad and bro, watch as I attempt to grab the breast of a naked woman who's lying down in the pond. If you look carefully, you'll notice that I actually missed it.

	Now this woman was amazing. I was in a big department store in Paris, when I saw this headless woman wearing a bikini looking thing. Next thing I know, she didn't even object at all with me taking a peek!

	Finally in Vienna, I met this poor bald girl with no arms or legs. She took off her shirt and let me take a picture with her! (For you sharp folks out there, it was me who took off her shirt, since remember, she had no arms of her own.)

So there you have it...if those last three pictures aren't enough to convince you all visit Europe, I don't know what is.
