Indiana Jones, Take Two

This morning, rested after a long night of gnocchi-making, we walked down to Santa Maria d'Angeli to do a little grocery shopping and see the cathedral.  On our way, I noticed a leaf blowing across the sidewalk in front of me.  Ever-paranoid about large bugs and whatnot, I stopped until the leaf stopped.  Just in case.  Once stopped, I started to take a step when suddenly THIS GUY (right) ran out from under it!!  I screamed, albeit briefly, and jumped back.  My yelp startled Kim, but maybe not as much as Chuck over here.  He ran up the wall just to our right, and I managed to snap a couple of pictures before his complete disappearance.

We continued to walk, unharmed, when Kim stopped in front of me.  It was then we realized that we were surrounded.  Leaves rustled without breezes, the inanimate bricks were moving at odd angles and paces.  One quick glance to the right showed us THIS:


They're everywhere, man!  Luckily we survived this test, but let me tell you.  We're on the lookout.  No leaving open purses sitting on the sidewalk while we take pictures.  No sleeping with our mouths open.  No no no.
