Hi there, just to clarify, yes we did mention you could use images from the internet, but as always we ask people to only use royalty free ones unlessif you have the author's permission. Quoting the source is a bit touch and go and it is unclear if you have the author's permission.
Secondly, the majority of the text, is lifted from the Cafe's journal. It seems like only the first paragraph is your original work, and that constitutes only around 25% of the entire post.
We are looking for original content, for you to tell us in your owns words why you want to travel to this location, and how you would spend $1000. Neither of these requirements are met in this entry.
There is 12 more days till the contest close, you're welcome to do another entry. All the requirements can be found here. Thanks

RE: "If I had $ 1000" and a little more ... I would definitely travel to the baroque town of Noto in Sicily.
