"the pose"

Before we left I told dorene to think of a pose we can do for pictures in front of all the monuments we visit just to be, you know, cute.  Dorene said “that is the best idea ever!! even though i feel like it's going to just come to us, but we apparently need to be prepared cause on the spot thinking may produce some interesting results. scenario: trying out these different "poses" in front of the eiffel tower while a poor asian dad tries to take pictures of us cause you told me to go ask the only other cheshtang family to take this photo montage of us.”

So we get to the arc de triomphe, our first real monument and realize we need a pose. Lily had found this old semi candid semi crazy picture of us and said that should be our pose so we decided to go with it.

 As I turn around to see who we can ask to take a picture of us I see a cheshtang (asian) family standing right behind us and we both start cracking up. So of course I made dorene go ask the dad to take a picture of us and thus “the pose” was born. Voila! (I know, I know, I messed up and put both hands up in the new pose, deal with it.)
