Handbell Traveler

The life and times of Danny Lyons. This is mainly so my family can keep up with me and see pictures as I put them up.

Computer again


The computer has been down for about 24 hours because I didn't have an adapter plug for it. I had been borrowing one, but it left with its owner for the weekend.

Concert tonight, then Sunday services tomorrow at the American Church -- big beautiful place. More later. Gotta run now.

This is a picture of the real self portrait masterpiece by van Gogh from the Orsay Museum. It was just hanging there within reach like so many others.

Saw the Mona Lisa yesterday at the Louvre. Fantastic place. Pictures later.
