Our money making plan

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it…but our Aussie dollar SUCKS and having to double the price of everything we buy makes being in Europe REALLY expensive.  I know I droned on about a $10 bottle of water in Berlin, but today a guy asked me for 12 Euro for 3 lemonades today.  That’s $25 worth of lemonade!!!

The good news is – we’ve worked out a way of making back some of our money. We’re going to use our secret weapon – Zoe.  It was ‘jolie’ in Paris, ‘que guapa’ in Spain, and ‘que bella’ in Italy.  It seems whatever the language (providing it’s not English because of course red heads are a dime a dozen in England) our little red head turns heads . But in Italy she creates traffic jams on the streets as the old ladies/men/nuns/young people/police crane their heads to get a better view.  And yes they take photos!  Some of them ask, but we catch others doing it on the sly. So – just like the guys dressed as Romans who stand outside the Colosseum posing for a fee – we figure we just need a couple of Euros per photo for each snap of Zoe that’s taken and we’ll make back our lemonade money back in no time.

Here a few recent photos of our beauty who is no doubt in family photos albums around the world by now.
