They call it "floating palace"... and how could you tell them wrong?

I found myself looking at it almost open mouthed  and I had loads of time to observe it on Friday while going to work since there was this horrid traffic jam and the people on the sidewalks were proceeding faster than the bus I was on... encouraging, uh?
On my way home I stopped on the pier to watch it sail away, with all the people taking pictures or filming or waving their hands.  It was fun, it felt like someone was shooting a movie and we were the extras.
Anyway, I managed to take only a couple of pictures and then I had to *walk* home because there was no chance in the world to find a bus!

On Friday night we had the pleasure of having Rol as our guest and it was good because it felt like the good old times again, at least to me. And Saturday was "Hugging Your Boyfriend Again After A Week" Day, which is always a veeery nice thing to do  especially if you get to the station on your bike in a record time of 50 seconds or something when usually it would take a few minutes... I love high speed when it comes to bicycle paths!
We had a great day and witnessing the second "close encounter" between the Lord from Tuscany and my cutie was sooo funny... they discussed the fundaments of philosophy while I was fixing something for lunch.  Greatly entertaining!
Sunday afternoon was spent laying on the pier talking about sentimental choices in life [wow!] and -me- desperately trying to teach my skin how to catch a tan.  Hopefully it will learn *before* Autumn comes!

AWESOME pics of the "floating palace" It has been years since I've even attempted to get on a bike..lol. You know, that might be just the new excitement that I've been searching for. Too cool! Sounds like you had a rather nice day..I hope that today is even more spiffy ~Moonie~
