El Bob goes to Italy

El Bob traveled with me to Italy the week before Memorial Day weekend for an engagement assignment I booked. We landed in Milan, and made our way to Pisa, Venice, Florence and Rome. His favorite part was playing with the pigeons in San Marco Square in Venice.

    I love that you watch Dog Whisperer…or maybe not?

    I wanna go on trips with El Bob! He looks like he had a lot of fun 🙁

    The dachshund holding onto El Bob’s nose was scary.

    El Bob is some traveler. Has he thought about a career as a travel agent?

    I’m starting to like the El Bob series’ just as much as the shots of your models. =)

    I have a little Domo-kun figure I picked up in Taiwan that I’ve done something similar with on my travels, but seeing you do it makes me wanna get back out there and get even more creative.
