Back from Italy, unfortnately... I only wish I could have stayed longer!
Scene of the Grand Canal in Venezia
Comical little inhabitant of the Genova Aquarium, the largest in Italy
A vista of one of the cinque terre (five lands)... I hiked to all five in one day (not recommended)!
The leaning tower of Pisa, a classic Italian tourist spot.
The Colosseum of Rome... all roads lead to Rome, even in my case. It was both the first city I went to and also the last. Ironically, the Colosseum was also the first and last important site I visited.
Practicing the Palio in Siena, a city crazy for its yearly bareback horse race.
Perugia, Italy's chocolate capital. Do you want to buy chocolate by the kilo?
Pretoro, where my mom was born. During my stay, I felt like half of thsi town's population was related to me as first, second, third, etc cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.
More to come... I took A LOT of photos and have lots to edit. Unfortunately, I lost about 50% of my photos in Genova. The girl working at the internet point did not add my photos from Torino properly and somehow the CD is either illegible or totally empty. A real shame since I had photos from Torino (olympics 2006!), Verona (Romeo and Juliet's birthplace), Assissi (religious hub for Catholicism), Firenze (big arts center), and much much more. Yuck!
