Sick!

So.

I forgot to post some important photos from Rome so this is an excuse to make another blog entry. Unfortunatly yestarday I awoke with the beginning of a cold and today I think it has become a throat infection. I am aching and slightly feverish. Hence I will not be going to Venice but will enjoy my last days in Italy reading and resting.

My sickness was no excuse for me not to visit the Firenze leather market. This morning I picked up some small gifts. But truely I have spent more money on myself this trip than anyone!

oops!

So enjoy the photos.


Caela & I returning from the market:


Rome. Don't be decieved the bright plastic looking columns are not real they are to simulate what once was there. The ruins are very remarkable!

Italia!

I have not even posted photos from Austria but that will have to wait seeing I am so enamored with Italy and have so far taken close to 300 photos here. I have just collected all my photographs and the total count is 813 since August. 20th!
Caela, Matt and I went to Rome for the weekend. I am still dizzy.

The photos posted below are from an afternoon in Pisa, two days hiking the breathtaking Cinque Terre region in the North west of Italy right along the coast of the Med., and this past weekend in Rome. I am going to stay here for several more nights as I have many galleries to visit and paintings to oggle at! Then it is off to Venice for the Biennale and a couple boat rides. Then london. Then Home!

Fun in Firenze, Italy!

Enjoying a beer on a 15th C. Palazzo in Florence Italy. I endured a beautiful but challenging hike through Cinque Terre and tomorrow head to Rome with my friends Matt & Caela for the weekend!
