The Original Venus
I meant to put this picture in after the next post- but i'd forgot. This is a fresco, painted back in circa 1st Century AD- pretty cool. This is an earlier version of Botticelli's. I also got to see the original in Pompeii, Italy.. The city that became ruins after Mt Vesuvius errupted covering the entire city and people in lava.. super cool. Plus you can even see bodies encased in the hardened lava at Pompeii. P.s I climbed Mt. Vesuvius- it was weird to be at the top, unable to imagine how something that seemed so calm and serene, could have caused such a catastrophic event.
The Birth of Venus
Here is a picture of my bed.. and on the wall is my favourite painting in the entire world- The Birth Of Venus by Sandro Botticelli circa 1485-ish. This HUGE print is like.. as tall as me, though the dimensions that appear here might suggest otherwise. Fortunately I got to see the real one, which is located at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
This is a picture of the bar- like.. MAYBE 1/10th of it.. and MAYBE 1/100th of the people that were at this damn dump tonight. I like the bar's atmosphere, its located right near the lake, its large, a very nice patio.. But its filled with people who are like.. barfing waiting in line, and people with fake ids. Although, if you go with a lot of fun people, then it can be endless amounts of fun

Lifeguard Dog
This is my sister in her new almost-caftan that she made the morning of this picture. And yep- thats scooby doo in a life jacket.. for dogs! how fuN! scooby swims ALOT in the pool and when he gets tired alot of water goes up his nose and mouth. My sister and I - being the lifeguards that we are- feared he may drown if not properly supervised. Now we can rest with ease while he swims with his new life jacket!
