Photo dump 2

These are just more random pictures. 



Piazza del Popolo. First entrance in to Rome from the north. Some crazy lady out in front. 


When in Rome!




Rialto bridge in Venice. 



Top of San Marino. 








We took a mountain road through middle of Italy to get from San Marino to Rome. At one point we we're heading nearly verticle on gravel. We drove through a few hillside villages and found this guy going down the road. He was the only other vehicle we saw for 30 min. 










Vatican art. It's a roman piece. Michelangelo told pope to buy it.

Here are a bunch of pictures taken by Brian. I am a better iphonetographer but he is a better photographer so it evens out. 

This is the wall of the Haggia Sophia. Beautiful building. I felt nothing in the mosques. The churches I felt better in. Even with the dark and morbid art. 


Staircase in Haggia Sophia. 





Here we are in Istanbul airport enjoying a break on our way to Italy. 


First night in Rome. We ate in a street Cafe. I love Italian food and cafe/restaurants.  


We hiked over to St Peters. This was best we saw it because they put up chairs for the pope. 








I took a pic of them trying to figure out camera settings. 

Selfie in duomo. 



The duomo is my favorite church. Loud on outside. Quiet on inside. 





These doors took 40 years to carve. They are made if gold. 


Piazza Uffuzi. 


Hot lady!

Florence had the best art. It was the birth of the Rennissance. 












Piazza Michelangelo in Florence at sunset. One of my favorite places. 





Just a church at night on way home. The Rennissance churches make me happy and sad. Nice to see that lives were spent in attempt to build buildings to show the love of God. Sad to think it was done wit poverty and I famished labor





Strattavarius. 





Venice.

I love Venice.
