I can't imagine being a student in such opulent surroundings. Also missed the replica of David. I wept when we saw the original in the Uffizi. <br /><br />A chocolate croissant with a shot of espresso is one of my favorite indulgences. A small taste of chocolate inside is the classic recipe.

We've been everywhere you talked about EXCEPT that amazing looking park with the shrine towards the end of the trolley tour. For a park loving, crowd detesting person like me, how in the world have I missed that??

And the idea of having lunch in the bottom of the pool seems divine. Never visited a Ripley's either but might consider it if I could touch 'David's' toe. Is there ever enough time to see it all. Great post. I like going places with you, even if only virtually. BTW, do you have any furniture for our house on the rock? ;)Gaelynhttp://geogypsytraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-71274574427350155042013-12-05T00:40:11.698-05:002013-12-05T00:40:11.698-05:00Flagler is really a beautiful campus.
