Our Valley
(We don't mean for this photo to be disconcerting, please
think of it as just another leg in our voyage...)
The Barronies' Valley, 26 km's of a picture perfect scene
Pic du Midi, 6 miles away and the highest point in
the French Pyrenees is in the background & below
Blow me down! - While in the Med, we visited Sweet Haven in Malta where the Popeye film was made.
As you can see below, they have done a nice job of preserving the movie set and now it is
a fun place to visit. Olive Oyl, Popeye & Swee'Pea surely were happy there!

Neptune Riding a Chariot Being Led By Tritons With 2 Sea Horses (Storms & Calms)
At The Trevi Fountain, Rome
Rome's Largest & Most Famous Fountain
(Trevi meaning Tre Vie - the convergence of 3 roads where it is in fact, located)
Designed by Nicola Salvi in 1732
Immortalized by Marcelo Mastroianni with frolicking Enita Ekberg in Fellini's Film La Docle Vita
Intersting fact: Neptune was a Roman god while Tritons were the sons of the sea god Neptune in Greek mythology, nothing like mixed metaphors!
Happy Holidays from Italy!
