So... these comments apply to the above pictures. Just try to figure out which ones : )

Hey I recognize that pillow Nice banana What is this green place? Where is the sun? Ah what an awesome city square! The streets look so confusing. Were you lost? The chair with the cat is great. The cars make it look like Europe! Um hm yes a coffered ceiling with groin vaults and barrel vaults yes What do all these Spanish words mean? Where are the subtitles? Buckets of paint? Mini nuclear reactors? Gigantic thimbles? This tree is like a dragon with many heads or Ursula from “The Little Mermaid”. An evil inverted octopus? Tus pantilones! What nice old buildings. And passers-by. All the doors seem very interesting. You went to the zoo?!? Is this your midday meal? Two croissants?
