Eleven Days and Counting. Issues to Resolve
Today's Issue. Posting photos to our blog.
Although I have traveled extensively, it is again time to get ready for this trip. One challenge. I am not sure how to post photos to our blog from an Internet Cafe. Will we be able to send photos taken with our phones? What is the cost? How will we be able to transfer the photos? Can we use Picasa?

A Russian subway stop
Maril travels around the world. The Tretyakov Museum in Moscow was one stop I visited. Malevich's Black Square was an important work to see.
Sigmar Polke
The reclusive Mr. Polke is described in NY Times, Sunday, 27 May. I can't wait to see the 7 abstract paintings in the Italian pavilion. Now I don't know why they are in that space. He was born in Silesia, country that became part of East Germany at the end of the second world war. He lives in Cologne. So what is his connection? Does anyone know? His 2004 show at the Tate Modern gives you a sense of his work.
GETTING READY!!!
In less than 2 weeks, we will be departing for our own GrandTour of the art happenings in summer 2007. Tickets, hotels, etc. have been arranged. Now the fun begins.
Art Basel is our first stop. I'm not sure what to expect, but if it is anything like Art Basel Miami, we are in for huge crowds. We don't plan to buy anything, but then you never know. We will fly into Zurich and stay there as well. We plan to make our way by train between the two cities.
Documenta 12 is next on our list. We hope to drive there from Frankfurt. While in Kassel, Germany, we will also visit the other sights, including the birthplace of the Grimm brothers.
Munster Skulptur Project is our third place. A train ride takes about 2 hours, but we will go by car.
Venice Biennale is our last stop on this tour. Flying from Frankfurt, we will reach Venice and stay near the Accademia Bridge.
www.grandtour2007.com should provide an overview.
