This morning I wrestled with my backback once again. It seems like the contents expand on an hourly basis. Last night I lost at backgammon AGAIN. Wine wasn't as good as I had hoped. According to Ali... Chickens fly.
Nor has there ever been seen a pose so fluent, or a gracefulness equal to this, or feet, hands and head so well related to each other with quality, skill and design. Today I saw another amazing sight, Michelangelo's "David", which is now situated in the Galleria dell'Accademia. Unfortunately, you're not allowed to take pictures but this is certainly a sight that I will not forget anytime soon. I feel extremely lucky to have been able to see it. It was like a rush of energy ran right through me as I turned the corner in the gallery and looked straight ahead at the incredible work of art in the distance. A statue that I had only ever seen in books before. Once again, a moment which required me to stop and take it all in. Simply amazing and just so perfect.
