Puzzles!

I have always loved puzzles but it has been a long time since I've had time to mess with one.  Turns out I was in luck on Monday because Drew was busy, all my normal cooking/cleaning was finished, and it was gloomy outside.  What was I to do?  Take a trip to Toys R Us of course!  We actually have one just a few buildings over from our apartment.

I can't actually remember what size puzzle I've normally completed in the past, but 1000 pieces seems to be the most popular type here.  Drew found that one of the cheapest options happened to be a picture of Cinque Terra, Italy, where we traveled one summer.  My only problem with the puzzle was that it had 1000 pieces but was only going to be 38 x 26 cm in size.  Compared to the other puzzles it seemed very small.    Drew investigated the box further and found that it was a micro puzzle.  He assured me that the puzzle pieces would only be about half the size of a normal puzzle piece.  Wrong!

I put my hand in this picture so that you can see just how tiny these pieces are.  I find that it is very difficult for me to even handle a single piece.  So this may be a long project.  

This is as far as I got on that rainy day.  It is now stored under the couch for a similar occasion to arise.
