Buongiorno!

Here are some pictures of our trip to Italy. Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as we enjoyed taking them!

I like this one...it looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa is just peaking around the church!

We bought some really good home made pesto in this little shop.

Here's a picture of our boat through some ruins.

Another picture of our ship.

Here is a small sampling of treats that awaited us around every corner! There were shops like this everywhere we went!

These were some fun tomatoes I found in a small market.

This statue was made in the modern day, but made to look like an old ruin. I got a kick out of this one!

These, um, strapping young men were outside of the Colosseum for pictures. You could have your picture taken with them for a small fee. Somehow I doubt that the gladiators back then were that scrawny and did not smoke cigaretts with filters on them!

Here's a picture of me and Kent at the Colosseum.

Outside of the Colosseum.

A picture of me and Kent at dinner the last night we were there.

This is the town of Portofino. Lots of fun little shops right along the water's edge. There were tons of fishing boats and private yahts to look at, too!

This is one of my favorite pictures I took. This was a little villa in one of the cities and it had this beautiful covering of white flowers on the side!
