Kathy and I went to Paris and Rome in 2002. What a wonderful adventure we had!!

 The Gates of Hell This is one of my favorite Rodin works, along with the Burghers of Calais. |
 Castle Door We took a tour of the Châteaux of the Loire Valley. It was glorious! |
The sense of antiquity in Italy is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.

La Sagrada Familia
Posted by Sue Jacintho On July 11, 2014
I am a lover of the Alan Parsons Project, circa 1980s, and ever since the Gaudi album, have been intrigued by the works of Antonio Gaudi, most specifically La Sagrada Familia Basilica. La Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, has been called, “The most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages.”
….and now for a musical memory…
La Sagrada Familia, the wind has changed the storm is over
La Sagrada Familia, for the lion and the lamb
La Sagrada Familia, we thank the lord the danger’s over
La Sagrada Familia, there’s peace throughout the land
Under clear blue skies our voices rise in songs of glory
And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears
Who knows where the world may turn us, only a fool would say
Who knows what the fates may have in store
Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see
How should we know where that may be? How should we know?

I’ve seen this photo floating around FaceBook and the internet, and am intrigued by the crystal clear waters. Even though I stumbled across a forum in which the disclosure was made that such images are produced via a circular polarizing lens, and that the naked human eye won’t see as depicted in the photo, I still think that this would be a lovely place to experience in real life. Some day!
