Wife just got back from Florence

#1

Her first ever trip, to Florence. She hadn’t been back in 2 decades and wanted to see it again. She bought a new camera…

The famed Tower of Medici where the chess piece the Rook design came from.

The entire Duomo is a piece of art. It’s done in white, pink and green marble. It’s absolutely stunning.

Yeah, it’s Florence’s answer to the Taj Mahal.

That should be the other way around, no?

Right you are. Dunno why I had thought the TM was much older than it is.

Just busy. Work, I’m on the Condo board, undermining Trump and Kushner properties with ads in Korean and Japanese-language newspapers here (go for their clientele and stink up their names), the dog just had her fucking second mcl surgery (one on each back leg) this year so trips with a squaling shrieking dog who hates riding in cars six times per surgery w mri and follow-up through NYC traffic up to 55th St and PT on my creaking knees make buying a small house in the middle of the woods and buying a hammock look good.
