Aaron and I in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. There were several wandering gypsies walking around the area. They would hand you a postcard written in english asking for money for food because their mother had died and they were hungry. Aaron offered to buy one a sandwhich (tourist!) but quickly realized the scam and saved himself the embarassment.

Most of the beggers in Paris have small animals with them to garner sympathy from the tourists. And it worked; one man was laying down with two puppies that looked just like Florence tucked under each arm. Actually we couldn't make it ten feet without Michelle making her "Awwww I missss Florence!" face.
