"I just can't wait to get on the road again."  -- Willie Nelson It's back on the bus for a final day of touring.  We leave Bologna and head toward Assisi, a small town made famous by the founder of the Franciscans, Francis of Assisi.  We visit the church built in his honor in 1228.&…

Whew, here we go!  Finally an internet connection and thus a "real-time" update.  Yes, we're currently in Rome, staying at a place called the Beehive.  It's a sweet little hostel with these self-contained apartment suites you can rent, we're in a 3-bedroom unit with Jen's parents and…

We had originally considered going to the Vatican for the day, however when we got up the sun was shining and the pool was beckoning. Some people may think it crazy of us to not go, but every town has museums, churches, various bits of art and history and after a while it all begins to look th…

Ahh Rome!! One of the most romantic places in the world. Blah blah blah. I don't really care about that stuff, plus it doesn't help when your single lol. Anywho. I have never felt so at home, so relaxed in a long time, or so it seems anyway. There's not much about Rome that you can't get from a tra…

I had a wonderful time here. Check out the pictures I posted. At some point, I'll have a little more time to come back in and write about the amazing places I ventured too!

Later we made our way to the hotel bar and drank gin and tonics with our bus driver and tour guide. From there, I proceeded to take shots of anything and everything. A few hours later I c…

Ah...Rome is another story altogether. Like in Paris, there is something extremely special about it that I doubt I could describe. And again, like in Paris, Rome is a place you would want to visit again (and again...) But let me start by me trying to ask an Italian shopowner to sell me 2 tickets …

Here is my 2006 trip in Europe.

Like I said before, I am absolutely ENAMOURED with Rome!  I can't believe I am leaving today.  I have spent the past couple of days in an orgy of museums, ruins, Romans, Emporers, Christians, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, wine wine wine, and food food food.  Sunday was our Roma…

We woke up to the news of further bombings in London, we are not sure of what has happened yet, as its a bit hard to get info here. We caught the Met back into Rome and went to the Vatican City, what a big and amazing place that was. I left the group as I had made plans to meet two friends from h…

Celebrated new years in Rome at the Amore festival `08

Day 5 in Rome we headed into town early to see the Colosseum and Palatine hill (ruins) before all the other tourists woke up. The colosseum was so amazing, especially because I felt like I knew more history about it and more of the story behind it. Thanks to movies, I've seen the recreation of it, …
