From the glitz of Paris to the rolling hills of Tuscany, I've seen, heard, and experienced so many beautiful things over the last couple of weeks. I could probably fill this blog for a year with accounts of doing/seeing things that I'd previously only been able to dream or read about. I won't do that, but here are a few highlights.
I heard the water lapping at the sides of a gondola in Venice ...
I studied timeless works of art at the Louvre ...
I had dinner in front of the Eiffel Tower as it sparkled ...

I walked amongst the early marvels of modern civilization in Rome ...
I spent time in perhaps the most resplendent manifestation of faith to ever be constructed, St. Peter's Basilica ...
I heard the church bells of Notre Dame ...
I drank wine in a 1,000 year old castle/vineyard ...
I strolled the gardens at Versailles ...
I stood in the shadow of Michelangelo's David ...
Sadly, they didn't allow photos in the museum. :( Incidentally, a guy collapsed right in front of me while I was admiring the statue. My wife had to do her doctor thing, but that's a story for another time ...
There is just so much to share. The above are a few of the hundreds of photos I took on our trip (excluding David in cutoffs ...). I'll post more in the next few weeks. I was so inspired by all of the art and ancient beauty that I wanted to share a little of that with all of you creative folks.
Speaking of which, I'd like to say one BIG thank you for all of the comments on my automated posts while I was away. I'm just now starting to catch up on all of your blog posts, and I have to say that you've all been very busy. I'm reading some great stuff!
Truly hope you've all been well.
