Ok, if you are like me you looked at the picture I posted yesterday and it didn't seem all that different from the one posted before - well, not sure if it was the light, camera angle or operator error (no couldn't be that) but here is what I think I should have posted and actually does look like something has happened since the last time.  Still got a lot of work to do but he is coming around and have high hopes that by Sunday he will be pretty close to finished.

Nicolae's Giraffe Over the years we have decided the places we like to visit and have gone back multiple times.   In this day and age I think it is uncommon that in a hotel environment the workers would have been there 10-35 years.  So friendships develop.   Each of the people we have encountered have made our stays extra special in a variety of ways.   One of the ladies that works the check in desk had a baby last year.   Since we were unable to go in November we just saw her when we were in DC.   He is now 14 months, and in love with giraffes.  She has a yellow and gray nursery decor and I wanted to do a giraffe.   Wasn't sure if it should be the "kiddie" kind, but thought he might outgrow it.   So I decided to do one semi realistic so that he wouldn't outgrow it right away.  Aren't they just the strangest looking animal?
