Snakes, Crocs & Other Reptiles
We took these pictures in Zante, Greece when we visited The Reptile House.
It was so much fun, the animals were facinating.
The woman who owned the place was australian and knew Steve Irwin. Her daughter, who was about 6 years old, had found a baby bat and was keeping it as her pet.
She has so many interesting stories to tell us. Apparently people in Greece buy baby crocodiles and keep them in their baths!

Let Them Eat Cake
Marie Antoinette is one of the most visually stunning films I have ever seen. Kirsten Dunst is so endearing as Marie Antoinette and plays the part extremely well.
If you haven't seen this film yet I would suggest you rent/buy it, take a couple of hours and some popcorn and get lost in this beautiful tale of a young queen who became a legend.
