Summertime in Menton - Laughter


She's giggling, he's having a good old belly laugh. Two people on a stone bench at the Place du Cap.

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people - Victor Borge

  2. Indeed, Sally. My thoughts exactly: what a terrific quote! When I saw them on the portal I thought: "Yep, married couple with that distance between them".

    PS ... what I really like is that her feet don't even touch the ground. You GO, girl !!!

  7. When I was in Rotary International, we had a speaker at our luncheon whose talk was about hands and hand gestures and where we put our hands and why.

    For example:

    Hands or hands and arms folded across the chest by a person who is listening to some speaker, is a sign of doubt and/or means the speaker will have to prove what they are saying before you can or will believe it.

    I don't know what the hands in the lap means?

  11. People usually look their best when in a natural laugh, like these two. I wonder if he's suppressing a leak.
