Italia!

We are eaters. We loooove to eat. So Italy was chosen as our dream vacation spot and off we went. Matt was anxious about flying over the ocean, but he has decided it's not so bad. The plane rides were actually pretty enjoyable. They fed us (often!) and we had movies on demand at each of our individual seats. I also teach about the Renaissance so I was able to get some great pictures to show my students this year. These pics will be out of order and come in spurts, but...enjoy!

Dinner our First Night in Roma - Trastavere

Trevi Fountain - If you toss in a coin, it ensures your return to the fountain!

Gladiator Matteo

We put our camera on top of a TINY car for this picture of us in front of the Colosseum


The Roman Forum - Can't you picture Roman senators in their flowing drapery meeting here?

Looks like the trip of a lifetime! I'm so glad that y'all got to go. Thanks for sharing your pics - I feel like I got to visit Italy from the comfort of my living room couch. (That may be the only way that I ever get to see it!) :)
