| The Quest for the Caravaggios Our quest in Rome, at the behest of Keith, was to view all the Caravaggio paintings we could. In Rome, there were 3 at the Galleria Borghese, 2 at Santa Maria del Popolo, . Later, I saw 3 more while visiting the Uffizi in Firenze., Bacchus, the Sacrifice of Isaac, and the Medusa, which was painted on a shield. Michelangelo Merisi (1571 - 1610) took the name of his hometown in Italy, Caravaggio |

| Early afternoon required some relaxation and pick-me-up. Artists don't always use paint... |
