Another day, another theme park. In keeping with the "photography of verbs" theme, here is Janet about to pick up a map of the park.

Here is a cropped and zoomed version of the previous photo in which you can see that the English version of the map has a yellow band across the top saying "GUIDEMAP", and you can barely almost read that the map Janet's pointing to is labeled "PARKPLAN AUF DEUTSCH". And, moments later, that's the one she picked up. We were a little surprised when we found this map in our posession.

This is even funnier because, the last time I'd been to Disney World with Janet, (this was the mid-1999 trip with the Freedman family) I had purposely gone into International Guest Services and got a German map just for fun.

As it says on this Frank Zappa album I had once, German is how God speaks whenever it's heavy business.
