The albatross is a vicious bird. We were in Venice (Venezia), Italy the other day in La Plaza di San Marco when we saw an albatross attack a pigeon. The albatross is a bit bigger than the pigeon and it was such an unfair fight -- unless the millions of other pigeons ganged up on the single albatross. But this albatross, goodness gracious. It grabbed hold of this pigeon's wing and just went crazy. And then it kept stabbing it with its beak so much that its beak was caked with blood and feathers. Viciously disturbing.
We're in Rome now, just a couple of meters away from the Spanish Steps. We went to the Vatican, Colosseum, Pantheon, and Roman Forum. And we still haven't seen everything. Tonight's our last night here but I definitely plan to come back here when I'm on my own.
Anyway, we're just wrapping up a pizza meal in front of a computer so I thought I'd blog. It's also September 11. It was rather nice of our tour director from Holland to ask for a moment of silence and nice of the Australians, British, and other assorted nationalities to oblige. Anyhow, till next time.
