a bit of nan

Honestly. The other night I had a dream that I was lost in an art museum. And there were paintings by Constable in there. You know Europe made an impression on you when...

Also, Deanna gave me some pictures from our trip and I'll give a little teaser here... with more to come.

Venice-> one of the many bridges crossing the Grand Canal. You can
see the Santa Maria della Salute church in the background, the one
with the dome, that I blogged about earlier I think.

Rome-> Dee and I at the Colosseum. Crazy how we all love this place even
though it was used for so much bloodshed and violence! On an information
plaque about the gladiator fights, it said that afterwards people would mop
up the spilt blood with sponges and sell it. It was thought to be a cure for
epilepsy. Gross!

Rome-> So beautiful! Our view from the top of the dome atop St. Peter's Basilica
in the Vatican. We had to pay 5 euro to go up the stairs for the view but it
was well worth the burn in the bum! You can see the backs of the statues
that lined the top of the church like sentinels and down into the huge square below.

Paris-> In that glass pyramid at the Louvre. In our opinion (it is possible
we may have been arted out at this point) the building itself was way more
stunning than most of the artwork inside of it. I gotta be honest, the Mona
Lisa painting seemed a bore! Almost a sin, I know...

Paris-> I'm tryin my darndest to get a good portrait,
but notice Eiffel Tower back there... looking so good
without even trying in every pic! This was taken
off the Arc de Triumphe.

Paris-> There's old Eiffel again, and cute Deanna!
