Looks like I won't be visiting Egypt any time soon. I was all amped and ready too.

But who knows..maybe it'll be ok again come fall.

This book is awesome.

Reflecting on Freedom

Santa Maria delle Grazie

I went to Milan 4 times last year. I've been there so many times in my life that I really can't tell you the exact number. 10?15?20? I really have no idea.

BUT

however

I have never seen Da Vinci's The Last Supper

At least on my 4th visit this last year I was able to go the church/monastery (Santa Maria delle Grazie) where the painting is located.

It was pretty cool.

Maybe next time I'll luck out and get tickets inside to see it.

Spain's Culture Capital

Tour groups descending upon the church of Santo Tomé

Inside is El Greco's most famous painting "The Burial of the Count of Orgaz"

Luckily Since I was staying in Toledo I had already gotten there and was able to see it before the mass of day trippers arrived.
