For those of you that don’t have facebook, I’m going to first post some of my favorite pictures. . . and then I will do some entries where I post more pictures and give some background. . . It just takes a REALLY long time to upload 800 pictures to photobucket!
AMAZING trip, overall. I don’t think I’d change a single destination, amount of time we spent there, anything. They are just such different cities with completely different attitudes and cool things to see.
Here is a smattering of pictures. . . more to follow!

Me in Ancient Rome

My favorite room in the Vatican. . . the Map Room

An up-close shot of a mosaic in the cupola of St. Peter's

Me frolicking in a field of poppies and trying (unsuccessfully)) to not get giant needles in my foot

I love the pic of the poppies… is it ok if i use part of it to help with my paintings? I couldn’t find poppy fields anywhere on our trip – at least not that big of a concentration of them!

That pink house is so cool. Sometimes I think our American homes should have more “character.”
