Annoying Ladies, Service Charge, and Hurting Feet

O.K. here's the deal...

This morning we all went to breakfast and got fruit, pastries, and water. We went to the lady inside the restaurant and asked if we could order here and she said no go sit down. So we sat down and the guy came and we told him what we wanted. Then we ate and stuff, then the problems started...it totally sounded like he had a accent and said 15, but no he said 50!!!! For fruits and pastries!!!! Here is what they do, the water cost 3.50 Euro, the fruits cost 5.50, and the pastries cost 5.50. This is what it should of cost...the sign in the window said the fruits were 3.50 and the pastries were 3.50. But as you probably could guess NOTHING in Europe is simple because there is service charge, almost no one takes credit cards, and there are tourist traps everywhere.

Then there is the annoying ladies. Mom almost slapped her the last time we saw her. We first saw her in the line to the Ufizzi (a museum) she held out a cup with a little picture in it of two little kids that we guaranteed weren't hers, then she had a pillow taped underneath to her dress so she looked pregnant and was speaking some strange language I couldn't make out. Then we saw her after we got out of the Ufizzi while we were eating some good little sandwiches, she did the same thing, and that was really annoying because we where watching a guy in a green shirt with "Joker" face paint on to random stuff to random people like steal peoples hats and put them on other people and stuff like that, the funniest thing I thought was when he held on to an old ladies arm and she thought that it was her friend then she looked to say something and then freaked. Then the last time we saw her we were resting on a bench then she walked up and before she even said anything Mom yelled "NO" and then she stopped asking us, but gave us some nasty looks.

And now to our feet, our feet hurt insanely bad. The second we got back to the Hotel I just jumped on to the bed and laid there for a sec, then I got bored and me and Gracie had a race down the hall. And now I'm doing this...Fun and Annoying 

Those were my Adventures for today!
