Epcot Visit

I went to Epcot in Walt Disney World last week...met the Bingaman sisters who graciously invited me to hang out with them for a couple days...they were there at the same time just by coincidence, having planned their trip a while ago. Epcot's World Showcase is essentially a permanent worlds fair. It features about a dozen nations, each with an area featuring restaurants, shopping and culture from the host country; each area is staffed by nationals from that country. We had a sumptuous lunch in Italy. Bellissimo!! This is a replica of a tower in Venice, I believe.















Here's a pic of the four of us in Italy. (well, the Florida version) For more, and zanier, pix see Brooke's blog...accessible from my blog page.

This was my third trip to Epcot, and I have always been fascinated by the park's showcase sphere. Its geometric panels constantly change as the light shifts during the day. It's neat to take abstract pictures of it. At night, it's attractively lit.

We stayed at Epcot all day. Dinner was in Morocco, excellent food and wine served by Moroccans. There was even a belly dancer, but my pic wasn't very good. The bloke playing for the dancer was really jammin' on his stringed instrument. At the end of the day, there is an excellent fireworks show. Disney doesn't do anything shabbily...it's all excellent.
