Italia

Here's a handful of the 700+ that I took. There trip was really great. I've always had a desire to go check out the ancient architecture there. There definitely wasn't enough time though. I'd like to go back a see a few more cities and a few more sites.

The weather was quite cold and raining most of the time I was there. This wasn't exactly the best season for visiting but it did help with the crowds and the prices. I walked more than I have ever walked in my life. I mostly just wandered through the streets with a vague idea of direction to the different sites. I loved it. I could definitely live in the city center of Rome. It's a big city but the city center feels small and so alive. Florence was beautiful and the architecture was amazing but it had a very different feel than Rome. Even though Florence was a very busy place with lots of people it just didn't feel as alive as Rome.

The garden was my favorite place to visit. I pretty much had the place to myself to. I got some more great pics from there I'll show you later.
