I have been enjoying the out of doors for most of the day and I truly do need another cup of coffee. Flowers are blooming more and more all over the yard plus the rose bushes. What a breathtaking site to see. I so do enjoy all the four seasons and all of its beauty.
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
We visited Fattoria il Poggio, a farmhouse in Montecarlo in the province of Lucca in Tuscany. The farm, rooted in Tuscany and managed by the Rossi family since 1963, welcomes visitors from all over the world. The farm produces wine and extra virgin olive oil. Inside the farm is a restaurant open for lunch and dinner and welcomes you with the best dishes, obviously accompanied by their wine and their oil!
Geralyn took this video as we traveled through the canals of Venice on a gondola! Geralyn normally doesn't do the videos but she wanted to capture me and the view of the canals from her perspective.
Dropping by to say hi.. Hope you are doing well and having a great weekend so far. It will be over before we know it. Hopefully you are enjoying some nice weather as well. Our weather has been like a yo-yo, was in the 90's then dropped to upper 60's Thurs, Fri, Sat. Now starting today will be back up in the 90's and 100 by Tuesday. Guess summer is here. Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest of your day and have a great week~~ hugs, debijo
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!
Geralyn and I were fascinated by the skill of this glass artist. And, he was a very nice fellow! So, if you are interested in the designing of glass art, you'll enjoy watching this video from Murano, Italy.
Venetian glass is thought to have been made for over 1,500 years, and production has been concentrated on the Venetian island of Murano since the 13th century. Today Murano is known for its art glass, but it has a long history of innovations in glass-making in addition to its artistic fame—and was Europe's first major glass-making center.
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!
