Florence, Italy – David, Uffizi and lunch at Palazzo Borghese


I loved Florence!! My list of reasons:
1.       Statue of David
2.       Baptistry Door
3.       Ponte Vecchio
4.       Lunch Inside the Palazzo Borghese
5.       Uffizi Gallery
6.       Gelato

Mom was sick with the ship bug and confined to her room for two days.  Bummer.

Barcelona, Spain - La Sagrada Familia Passion Facade

Image
I just took the photos, many many photos, so that I would have them to look at when I returned home and could research this building.  The Passion Facade is quite a work of art so scroll through the photos and take it all in. I put a description at the end of the post so that you could experience my experience.  Look, look, look, read about it, then return to the photos to look with new eyes. Center statues are "Peter's Denial".  The three women on the left represent the three times of the denial. "The Rooster", to the left of the women, looks towards dawn.

Payson, Arizona - Ox Bow Saloon on Historic Main Street

Image
The Ox Bow Saloon is on the National Register of Historical Places so I thought that I would drive down "historic Main Street" and photograph the saloon.  I was out very early so that I could photograph the buildings without a lot of traffic.  You can see from the long shadows that this was just after sunrise. This is the "Historical Journigan House" is now a fine food restaurant, a full bar, and an outside patio with a grill.  I took this photo so that I could remember to come here for dinner.  This is the nearby parking lot. If you look closely, you can see various horses painted on the wall.  The entrance to the street from Route 87 (the main highway that bisects the town).  This is my destination, The Ox Bow Hotel and Saloon.  Fun look to the western style front.  Special parking.
