Today we walked to Belvedere, which is actually two buildings — I suppose palaces? — to see the art there. The walk was pleasant, as the weather was so comfortable, and the rain is gone.

Here is the lower mansion interior (we could only access a few rooms):

I’m not too interested in sharing photos of art, but this is from inside the upper mansion. Scott, the carvings are wood … thought you might enjoy them.

In all honesty, the trip was fun, but the museum yesterday was, for me, much more interesting and rewarding. I don’t regret going to this place, but I doubt I’d return.

From there we walked back toward our hotel, ate too much dinner and topped it off with gelato. Here are just a few images from the walk back. I think I’m taking too many iPhone pictures and need to scale this back a bit, so the phone might get a bit of rest tomorrow (emphasis on MIGHT!).

As a side note: putting up these reduced images is a wee bit clunky, and I’m not sure the quality is so great, but they definitely load more quickly.
