Classical Guitar, Buying a Classical Guitar, Guitar History, Photography, Canon EOS Cameras

Earlier this summer I visited Europe with the Great Museums of Europe tour (ART 176). I blazed through untold museums and churches, sampled dozens of delicious beers and slept in more hotels than I can shake a stick at. My trigger finger was really busy and thus I built Galleria Europa. It's still under construction but is looking pretty substantial at this point.
