Florence--Santa Croce
Behold!! In this Chiesa (Church) di Santa Croce are where Galileo, Michelangelo, Rossini, and other brilliant Giants of their days have their final resting places.
Dante's massive statue outside makes for a fitting tribute
Firenze's Palazzo Pitti
The ruling families called this palazzo their residence. The Medici Family lived here....so did Napolean's sister...Now, it's a museum

VERSAILLES
These images are in front of the Palace of Versailles, in front of the Versailles Gardens, and in the King's Bedroom
Hotel de Ville...I believe this is the French Government
This is where Nicholas Sarkozy goes to work everyday......intriguing!
Inside the Louvre
Seeing this sarcophagus made me feel like I was back in Rome....had to take a picture
Apology....
No...I did not fall off the face of the Earth..
I apologize for my tardiness with updates. It has been non-stop, but WONDERFUL.
Two weekends ago I returned to USA for my cousin Phyllis and her now husband Chris's Wedding..It was beautiful and wonderful. It was so special and so nice to be with family.
( I flew both ways from Rome to Chicago to Newark then from Newark to Chicago to Rome...which was well worth it but tiring)
That week in between was a whirlwind. This weekend likewise was eventful. I just returned from Paris. C'EST BONNE!
There is so much I want to say that has happened in between my posts,which I will try to fill you in with in the future. With all the craziness, I have lots of school work to catch up on this week.....This weekend, we visit Florence and Assisi with the school. So I'll be busy with that too.
Grazie Mille, Merci Beaucoup and Mi Dispiace or D'esole (All meaning Thank you and I am sorry in Italian and French)
