Wind
Sometimes the Mediterranean is whipped into life by the wind and on those days the surfers come out in force and have a great time.

Lucky black cats?
If a black cat crossing your path means bad luck, do two mean good luck?!

Si un chat noir traverse votre chemin c'est un signe de malchance, s'il y en a deux c'est une bonne chance ?!

Dolceacqua - Manpower
Dolceacqua - a medieval village across the border in Italy - and twinned with Gorbio. In the old days, donkeys were used to lug produce up into the village - nowadays it's man-power.

Rescue!
This little boy had stopped bouncing and was stuck up in the air. His mother had to lean across and grab a foot to bring him down to earth.
