WHERE THE LAW MAKERS MEET

One final shot from Strasbourg. Shot taken on the 30th June, the fifth day of our vacation.
We couldn’t leave Strasbourg without having a glimpse of the European Parliament building in Strasbourg. So we drove there, stopped at a reserved parking just outside the gate and Ian and I took a few shots. This is the one I liked most as on the guard’s room there was a reflection of the building which looked like an extension of it.
Joke: Little Joey wanted 100 Euros badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened.
Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the 100 Euros. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, Europe, they decided to send it to Jean-Claude Junker, the President of the EU.
Junker was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send Joey a 5.00 Euro bill thinking that this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

Joey was delighted with the 5.00 Euros and sat down to write a thank you note to God, which read:
Dear God,
Thank you very much for sending the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Strasbourg. and, as usual, those crooks deducted 95.00 Euros.
Thanks,
Joey
It is a lovely building.
