Some PIX from Juan Romero Rodriguez and Don Swiss Franco Steelo’s most excellent olive picking foray
Click on the small photo to get the big one, I have reduced color as web formatting demands, but they are still big and will take some time to load (especially on old crappy PC's (Rowan & Tim you have been warned), for those of you who wish to have the full color picture to print on glossy I can send you a CD-Rom with them in TIF format and many millions of colors.

Lake Geneva just after Guy ripped of some poor Swiss women for 10 Franks |

 |
The wedding dress tree (Rowan & Matilda that might come in handy?) |

Hey Swiss Franco Steelo you seem to have an olive twig in your mouth (A roll-your-own olive twig? They think of everything in Italy) |
 |
Honest we do pick some olives, Keith make the next picture one showing us do some work. Val and Signe finally got Rowan to make them something for after the picnic) |
 |
The wonders of digital photography. This is a picture of Signe originally standing at a bar getting slaughtered, now superimposed up an olive tree - working?. Who said the camera does not lie? |
 |
WOW - Rowan in an olive tree..... No only joking same technology as above. |

Xena, do you think you can pierce my tongue with one of those olive stakes or your sword, got any spare studs on that leather breast plate you can lend me? |
 |
Does this look like an album cover for some weird shit band? Tim looking moody. |

We know that is Jerry, who is that perfectly camouflaged in the tree at the top, answers to Juan at e-mail below. |
