Paris & Rome 2018

[Drunk Monk]

Did the Academie & Galileo - David had a big ass and hands & those stradivarius were gorgeous (I'm a sucker for bird's eye maple). Galileo’s fingers were kinda trippy. Cool contraptions tho. I was struck by the craftsmanship behind those devices.  

Santa Croce - might check that out.  Thanks!

Probably going to skip climbing the Duomo. We have the full pass with all the trimmings but stairs are killing me now.  I am weak.  All our feet are sore enuf. Stacy's tevas are failing and my legs are still tore up from those Parisian cramps.  We walked and shopped and cobblestone is rugged. 

I hear ya on the gelato. It’s like eating icing. I’m only tasting a bite of my familys’ but I can resist the pizza & pasta. Blood is under 150. Trying to be good but I’m a slave to temptation. Had an ok panini (too bready and wound up tossing some of that), a horrible San pelligrino (chino flav which i think is bitter orange and licorice), and a wonderful seafood pasta full of clams & mussels plus these weird long tailed shrimp centipedes that were more shell than flesh - Klingon food - wasn't exactly sure the proper way to eat that - live maybe?

We're taking a break again.  Not sure if we'll go out once more today.  All this art and food is so exhausting.
