I had another training in Tampa yesterday, so I made sure I left early enough to go to one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay Area, the Salvador Dali Museum.  The exhibit they are showing until the end of May is "Dali and Film".  Everytime I go, I take the guided tour to get as much information as possible.  In additon to the standard Dali exhibits, movies that he collaborated on with other were also playing through out the musuem.  My favorite was "Destino" which was the his collaboration with Disney.  It was just gorgeous with each image absorbing into a previous image and music that was classic Disney in Spanish, English, and French.  Unfortunately no pictures are allowed and there is a security guard at every corner to make sure of it.  I did manage to take a picture of the marina outside of the museum.

La Boheme

Last week Wednesday I had the opportunity to go to see La Boheme.  This was my lovely view.  I enjoyed the actual opera very much, but I was really impressed with the sets - very elaborate and detailed.  This week I'm supposed to go see the final opera for the season - Julius Caesar. 

The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it, put your whole soul into it -- every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.

I just  bough Adele's  album  online and listening to  it now.  Here's the song that introduced me  to  Adele while I  played  BBC Radio1 in the background  at work:

I joined postcrossing a few days ago. Postcrossing is an exchange project which allows you to send and receive postcards from around the world.  You're only allowed to have 5 traveling at a time and I've already sent my 5 out.  Three have been received by I haven't gotten one yet!  I'm patiently awaiting my first card. I'll post when I get it.
