Finally, after lots of frustrations and sleepless nights I was able to put together a picture gallery. Do you know that I even dreamnt of this CSS Image Gallery? That's how crazy and impatient I was.This all started when I was looking for CSS tutorial and I stumbled upon
Mr.McCartney's blog. He has this picture gallery and I was intrigued on how he did it. In his blog he mentionned Narrowband who created a wonderful image gallery based on Dynamic Drive. Then I tried to follow Narrowband's tips. Mr. McCartney also gave me pointers in making this gallery.I also learned few tricks from Vin while browsing through the blogger help forum.There are still some more things to be done but I am happy on the way this turned out.

Aside from Musée des Beaux-Arts Dijon, we were able to visit Cathédrale de Saint Bénigne and the Notre Dame de Dijon. However,due to time constraint we were not able to visit other places. Our evening meal was in Le Théâtre des Sens, a small but cozy restaurant and where I've tried escargot. Yes, I did and blame it on the kir! Our dinner was really good,the waiter was very cheery and accomodating. We stayed at the Hotel Des Ducs where we spent the rest of the night watching crime scene investigation. Ah! the joy of havin...
