Michelangelo's David

Look carefully at these two images of David. You will notice that he has two different expressions (fear and courage) depending upon which side of the statue his face is viewed from.

Galileo Museum in Florence, Italy

After a hike in the Boboli Gardens, we toured the Pitti Museum, ate lunch in view of the Ponte de Vecchio bridge, and toured the Galileo museum. Among the artifacts were this computer with all the cogs, and these wooden fetuses showing different angles of birth. At night, an amazing light show of lightening followed by cracks and booms of thunder lit up the city. Torrential rain and hail trailed behind the orchestra, so we sat with the window open and enjoyed the show.
