I've been taking a lot of pictures of tourists this trip. I don't mean that they're getting in the way of all my shots, though that is undoubtedly true. I've been watching husbands taking pictures of wives, friends taking selfies, families leaving the photographer out of their memory shots. The other day there were three men (who we swore were brothers, but they said, no - one from Spain, one from France and one from Greece) passing the camera around getting different combos of two of three. So I've been going up to these picture-takers, and asking if they want me to take a picture of them together. No familiar words are exchanged, just lots of gesturing. Not one has ever said no. They just pass over the camera, say thanks in whatever language works for them, and smile!
