Highlights of Italy

Monday, May 29th, 2006

we`ve been so bad at adding blog posts that I’ve had to resort to this ¨highlights of¨stuff but…so it goes. 

We had an amazing month in Italy. Have only great things to say about all of it. The people were so friendly and helpful. Glad to help when we got lost. Not that I ever did, of course. Always smiling!

 Here are a few highlights:

The Vatican. St. Peter´s Basilica, the Vatican Museums

The Coloseum

The Roman Forum.

Montepulciano. The coolest little walled village you will ever see

Florence- The Uffizi Gallery, The Statue of David

Venice. Grand Canal. beautiful hand made glas from the nearby island

Cinque Terra – A big favorite. one of the most beautiful places on earth

Did I mention the Wine, Cheese and Meat!!!!
