Big is better

The Zwinger Palace in Dresden is expansive. And at noon on a warm summer day, it is not for the faint of heart. In the sculpture gallery each piece commanded its space.

Rodin's oversized bust against the window reveals the other side of the inner courtyard. Rich was delighted to find The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer by Degas. It is always fun to find sculpture that is dressed appropriately.

At the end of the afternoon we thought a bookstore cafe would be just the right thing. We ordered iced-coffees, but we got coffee ice cream instead! So much for our German language skills...
