the church at the top of the spanish steps
dear mally, you'd like this place
it's a coffee house that was established 250 years ago
john keats (the poetry guy) & the hans christian anderson (the thumbelina guy) got coffee here
and they wear tuxes to serve you coffee
a blue hair on a bike
literally
hey solo shot
with the column of marcus aurelius
built in 193 AD
it tells the story of the danubine wars
zac, see if dad will buy you an italian police car
trevi fountain
it's huge
it's also the hotspot for pick-pocketing
probably because everyone is reaching in their wallet to grab 3 coins to toss over their shoulder for good luck
3 in a row
jackpot
the pantheon
i saw it in real life
indescribable. unreal. favorite thing i've seen yet.
it's the largest unreinforced dome in the entire world
that's a hole in the ceiling (the oculus)
so what happens when it rains?
no big deal, the water just rolls out the front doors.
it's 1,931 years old
the sunspot from the oculus
peek and her redhead friend inside the pantheon
front doors of the pantheon
20 tons each
that was not a typo
probably the most vibrant redhead spotting today
i don't remember which one this is
they're all beginning to look the same
kate and me in front of the fountain of the four rivers
it was designed by bernini
basically he designed the whole city
dear zac, i found your girlfriend
nice catch
point made
i'll stop posting these shots
if you want more, i'll mosttt likely have an album dedicated to them on my computer.

glad to see that the world has finally caught on to how awesome red hair is. I've known since birth.

Red hair is awesome! But, only when it is natural. Actually, a true red head has at least 7 different natural shades of color. Since Haley is your other "ginger" friend, we are enjoying see the pics of people trying to copy the red head craze! We are loving your blog, by the way! I know you are having the time of your life. Please continue the updates. Your pictures and comments are very interesting!
ReplyDeletethe above comment was made by my sweet mother, i do believe. And yes, we love redheads.

Hello! I ended up randomly on your blog. Is really very nice ;) I'm glad you enjoyed Italy, but there is much more to discover. I wanted to tell you that in the picture when you write "National Monument of Victor Emmanuel II
ReplyDeleteEntirely it's marble
mussolini Gave His speeches here" is the monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II (Vittoriano - Altar of the Fatherland), the first king of Italy, but also to the "Unknown Soldier" that is a symbolic tomb that represents the Italian soldiers killed in war. In addition, Mussolini never made speeches here, but in near Palazzo Venezia overlooking the piazza of the same name ;) I hope you to come back to visit us in Italy, maybe in other cities. I am sure you will be fine. A good day :) (sorry for my bad english)
