Some creepy things I've seen so far.

So whoever thinks that when I get back home, they'll be a massive photo drop of stunning buildings, gorgeous landscapes and beautiful pictures of Europe, you'll be disappointed.  I've discovered that I REALLY don't like taking pictures.  When I find some building/scene compelling, i'm trying to draw it.  That way, there's some involvement in the whole traveller/environment scenario.  The deal is this:  I am not a good photographer.  Add that with no passion for taking pictures, and all you have is me pointing my camera randomly and thinking, "Oh, people at home will be mad if I don't take a picture of this".  And THAT'S no fun, right?  I want to take pictures for my own enjoyment, and make it not be a chore.  SO...without further ado...here are some photos that I DID take.  These are the things I want to remember about my trip.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.  

The only photo I took in Madrid.  The creepiest Tellytubby with a cameltoe i've ever seen.  It looks like satan.  It will haunt my dreams, I can tell you that.  


They're OBSESSED with life-size nativity scenes in Spain and Portugal.  This was one I walked through in Zaragoza, complete with sound system shooting out sound effects of donkeys "hee-hawing" at random intervals.  

Check out the close up of this guy:

YIKES!  What is he so angry about?  I don't even know who this guy is supposed to be in the whole jesus story.  I don't remember a man with porridge playing a big part in the story.

By far, the creepiest thing ever, and therefore, my favorite picture.   What is it?  I have no idea.  The rest of the statue is completely life-like.  They're sitting on this demon creature.  I don't know who made it, but they have some issues, I can tell you that.  CREEPER alert.
