This is just a quick post to let readers know that I will be posting lots of neat stories and pictures from my vacation in Italy as soon as I have time to move the pictures and also get caught up on my work. I really enjoyed the week that I spent in Tuscany. I would have liked to spend more time out in the countryside and less time in museums, but there were a lot of works of art that we had on our list of must sees. I did not take a picture of the original David by Michaelangelo. I was amused by watching scores of people blatantly disregarding the sign forbidding photography. The photo on Wikipedia is better than anything that I could produce.

If anyone is reading this and they have seen the original and also the Vegas replica, I would love to here a comparison of the two experiences.
