"Whoa, baby, that sucker is huuuuge!"

Today was more shopping, as I had a few items that I suddenly discovered that I could not live without :-) After purchasing those we went to see 'David'. I, personally, was transfixed by the gaze, the eyes, which looked sad, compassionate and yet very mature. What Sean means by the title of this page is that the statue is huge, 12-13 ft, rather than, how shall I say this, David's appendage. I'm sure his chat-up line, 'I killed Goliath', more than compensated for his other inadequacies.

I didn't expect him to have the 'Wallace and Gromit' shirt, but I guess capitalism is everywhere <sigh>. I spoke with Dana last night, she said that there should be more photographs on Sean on our website. So just for the record, I'll state that the 3rd David is not myself.

Another thing Matthew and I noticed is about the general Italian Way Of Life. First, everyone here, men and women, but more so women, have style. As in they dress and live with a flair that we just don't see in the USA. We both now understand why people come to Italy, Paris, etc, just to shop. The stores are amazing, the presentations, selections and environment promote this sense/need for dressing and living well. An American mall with forever be drab.

WARNING! The following two pictures pretty much says it all.... Art, the art form that is the digital camera at its finest.
