Sunday July 2, 2012 First Photo_Natural Bridges yet again. And again, for those who are interested, there once were two of these stone "bridges' separated from the shore, but one of them fell down so, while they still call this place Natural Bridges, it is actually Natural Bridge...no s. Second Photo_I captured three, of four, kids going off to explore tide pools and such, Jimmy, Lauren and Joanna. James is off to the left :(
Wednesday July 4, 2012_We return to Morgan Hill once again for America's Happy Birthday celebration. First Photo_Celebrants taken in line while waiting to order hot chocolate because it was very cold. Second Photo_A self-explanatory not great pic of gun powder made pretty. Third Photo_Out-of-focus Jimmy smiling while Lauren
hides.
Thursday July 5, 2012 First Photo_We're at the Branham lightrail station heading downtown. You may note that in the parking lot across the highway, the tippy-top of the cream color car to the extreme left is mine :D Second Photo_Our destination, San Jose's Modern Art Museum. The old original building houses one large gallery, the gift store and the Cafe with two floors of gallery space in the new-ish building.flickr has all the rest

All of them are interesting, but I'm afraid I'm sadly attracted to the pretty. (Not that Lauren isn't pretty. I should have said picturesque, I guess.) FanSee
Picturesque is cool especially since Lauren is barely visible. For me, while the ocean is lovely, I gravitate toward the museum, I love downtown :))
Why the sad face for James?
the sad face for James is because he didn't make it into the photo, he was too far to the left when they took off and if I'd paused long enough to frame the photo well enough to include him, they would all have been out of camera range as fast they flew away :D
How are you doing with your Hollander text?
I have completed Inferno and Purgatorio but am waiting until October to read Paradiso as I need a little break. I am very glad I'm reading Hollander's translation, at your suggestion...thank you, he makes the text and the historical notes so accessible. I probably enjoyed Inferno a little more, it's so visual and has more action but Paridiso was cool too. I hesitate a little about Paridiso because I understand there is a lot more religion but I will persevere.
Oh, and at least by the end of Purgatorio, I found I couldn't stand Beatrice. The word 'bitch' kept coming to mind every time she opened her mouth :)
Beatrice. Ah, Beatrice. I too disliked her tremendously for taking Virgil's place. After she had Lucy request his help and then he just disappears into thin air and leaves Dante looking around for his "mamma" I actually cried. So, yes, Beatrice was difficult to swallow for me. I found that as I read Paradiso, I did grow to like her more and more but never anywhere as much as Virgil. Virgil has my heart.
Thank you so much, sweetie. You are very kind.
I would have been running with the kids to check out the tide pools. lol
