John and I visited the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze, or "Gallery of the Academy of Florence" which is an art museum in Florence, Italy. It is best known as the home of Michelangelo's sculpture David. It is truly a masterpiece that shows more detail than I expected! The veins and muscle structures can only be appreciated by gazing at the sculpture in person!
Hello my friend & hope you survived the strong storms the other night. We had some high winds that caused a little damage but nothing severe & only a little rain but the winds were up to 60mph for awhile . Getting ready for some more heat starting today so it's time for river or lake swims. Enjoy the happy hump day & rest of week...........George
John and I were excited to ride the gondola in Venice! It was a beautiful day to ride through the canals of Venice. Our gondola ride was at least 45 minutes long!
A happy weekend to you & hope the was good to you . We were lucky the last go around of storms skipped by us but close by had some strong damaging winds & heavy rain. This coming Monday we made a lifetime vow to each other 63 years ago and we know that as the years go by our time together grows shorter but daily our love for each other grows even more. Have a terrific weekend my friend & take care.....George
John and I booked an extra day before our tour started so we decided to explore the city of Venice on our own! Our hotel was in the most desirable location! We were able to walk miles from our hotel and had beautiful scenery along the entire route!
Venice is a very unusual and old city. John and I arrived one day before the tour began so we had an extra day to explore the city on our own. Our arrival from the Marco Polo Airport was an unexpected 25 minute boat ride to our hotel, which is right on the Grand Canal. Our hotel bellman had to take our suitcases from a very rocky boat. Once we registered at the hotel, we exited to the street side which has 100's of shops and restaurants! The basic transportation here are large boat taxis. We had a chance to stroll along the streets and the Grand Canal for a few hours and the weather was sunny and pleasant! We did get a few hours rest before we went out for supper. Venice is 7 hours ahead of CDT in the U.S.A.
Good day to you & happy hump day. Last day of school so will be going easy for awhile.

My husband, John, always manages to get the most awesome pictures and videos of events occurring in our backyard. Around noon today a female visited our swamp milkweed. She didn't mind John being in the garden while she was busy laying eggs. There is no sound to the video because John was concerned that he may scare her away. We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it!
Hello & hope your having a good week . Have had some scattered rains & temps in the 80's . Luckily have had some time to cut grass in between the rains . Enjoy the rest of the week & take care.........George
