Friends, Food and Fezzes Around the World

Take a break from the barely noticable snowfall and bone-biting wind chills for another trip down to warmer climes, where you can get away with wearing shorts and tee-shirts in January and hang out with characters a lot more savory than the ones you find roaming the streets 'round these parts.
It's time for a romp around the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow!
Andrew's got his date lined up for the Holy Cross formal
Beauty and the Beast, indeed.  She really rung Andrew's bell.
Two Beauties
Not far away, Angelina Jolie was ready to strike a magnificent Maleficent pose.
Lunch break, enjoying Fish and Chips in the United Kingdom.  Andrew might still be sitting there now if we hadn't made him get up
A smooch for my sweetie
Let the professionals take your pic, they'll make you look like a postcard
Alas, poor Yorick, Andrew can't ditch his Shakespeare geek even in Disney
We met up with Clan Scanlon again in Italy
Where Andrew and Heather contemplated a gondola ride
On to dinner!  Via Napoli, a more recent addition to the Italy pavilion was like home away from home for Andrew's appetite
Also home, I might add, to what he called the best pizza he's ever had.  He had to pay his compliments to the chefs.  And the brick oven ogres
Going for the more casual look, Heather had another Belle encounter
And then I bumped into a different belle, colleague and fellow Disney freak Julie Hay, making her way around the world with her beau John Robinson (and sporting Just Engaged pins to boot!)
Over in Morroco, the kids and I test the 11th Doctor's truism.  Turns out fezzes aren't cool on everybody.  Just the Doctor.
In case you're wondering where he's been, Heather found him at the fountain in Italy
And finally, because I know so many of you were frantically worried that it hadn't happened yet, Andrew did secure a famous Disney churro, so rest easy, everyone.  It's just the fuel he needs to help him motor through the Disney Half-Marathon just a few hours later.
Next up will be Sheriff Andy's 13.1 romp through the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT.  Hopefully without a snake in his boots.

good job finding Waldo Heather!

Wow, I never knew Waldo was a Disney creation! Go Heather. :)

When do we get to go back to Disney? It's been two weeks, that seems long enough to wait.

And we agree with Andrew, best pizza EVER at Via Napoli. So so good. Think they deliver?

Every pre-race routine should be that fun and I'm glad to see that Andrew was able to fill the tank before the race.
