Traveling with a “theme” is fun. I am doing a tour called IN SEARCH OF VICTORIA AND ALBERT in August which will take us from Balmoral to Coburg–that’s a serious theme trip. But also, a visit to the NATIONAL GALLERY to see the newly cleaned MADONNA OF THE ROCKS and to the LOUVRE IN PARIS to see the earlier version of the MADONNA OF THE ROCKS is another theme trip. The Louvre version was painted earlier, mostly by DaVinci. The National Gallery version was painted entirely by the master. I wrote a blog on the newly restored MADONNA OF THE ROCKS in the National Gallery, but wouldn’t it be a fun trip to then go to Paris and see the earlier version? Wow! That’s traveling with a purpose. That’s exactly what I am going to do. Come join.
