I love this idea, but I guess you had to be there, as I'm not sure what to infer from it all...
I'd love to know the names of the paintings though, as I have neglected my art history studies of late.
Glad it was a good trip, overall, and if you feel like posting your favorite costumetextilethingies (isn't that partly why you went?) or sights, I will devour with vicarious pleasure!
