That's the same model I ordered back in April, except mine has the Milanese loop strap. The product red strap wasn't available at that time.

At the end of the day, you'll see just how much excercise you get in a day of teaching. At work last night I put in 229 minutes of excercise.

I don't think I'll get that much exercise, but I'll know for sure tomorrow.

This is not the same tree as yesterday

Because of the more or less calm water, there was a nice reflection of the sky. The sunset itself wasn't really spectacular today.

It may not be the same tree but it's still a beautiful photo.

Thank you!

A balancing act.

It looks like a very interesting place to visit. Are the reconstructed buildings built on the original foundations?

Yes, they are. When I was a child, just parts of the floors and remains of the walls were visible, and what we were allowed to see was just a tiny part of what is possible to visit today. Since then, they've reconstructed more and more buildings. It's quite interesting for children as well now.

It will be quite amazing if they ever reconstruct the entire site. It's certainly a site I would visit if I ever get to Austria.

I was just looking at the site on Apple Maps and it looks like there's likely quite a bit still hidden under the modern town.

No idea if they will reconstruct everything. They're still finding remains of the civilian city.
There's a model of Carnuntum near the entrance, showing where it was located. You get the idea that the excavations are just a small part of the former city.

I've been there at least five times now, and I'm learning something new every time. It's certainly worth a visit.

The still water of the lake gives an amazing, almost perfect reflection, giving you twice as much sunset to enjoy.

Beautiful!

Thanks. The store I work at almost always has a selection on orchids for sale.
