WOW-Had a Great Trip- Art-Music-the Atlantic Ocean and Passports (Identitifaction) to be Carried at all times---

I Loved being in Spain-Portugal-and Italy--
Paying for going to the bathroom was a little 'weird' -
I will have photos up ASA ad I sort through the hundreds of them and find the best--
I am sure that my son will assist me in posting them for you all to see-
I did learn some very interesting info about two artists that I had never 'met' -
One being the creator of a sculpture from which the inspiration for Steven Spielberg's E T came...

and an architect-Guadi -who was considered to be either a genius or 'nut'...

A Genius with a Tesla -like aura...is my take...more on Guadi later..

I also learned that Michelangelo was influenced by the Reformation and that there is one-glaring-'hidden message' in one of the panels of the Sistine Chapel that I will share later this week-it brought a smile..

I will also share my thoughts on bringing our BEST home from the various EU countries...the Whys and Wherefores...

and-seeing as I just got back from countries that demand proof of citizenship--I will share this video from a professor who is well though of by his students. ..and who knows his Constitution---unlike b Hussein obama- (bho is suing the people of his own country - unheard of and - if I may say-EVIL)
