Choose My Adventure Series #1

So today the J and L Roadshow reviewed the results of our first poll in our Choose My Adventure series.  The results were:

Since it was a tie, I let the "L" in the J and L Roadshow make the deciding vote.  He chose the Blanton.
So off we went.  Here are few of my favorite things from our visit.

Cildo Meireles installation called "Missoes."

Explanation for the installation

2000 cattle bones

600, 000 pennies

800 Communion wafers

Two things I LOVE are oil paintings from centuries ago and marble sculptures of kids.  You can imagine I was in heaven in Italy.
