Picture Post-Rome plus a mini blog

More Rome Pictures!



Fountain of Trevi:where you go to throw coins behind your head for good luck/love

Another shot of it

Awkward poser of the century

Erin throwing it in for good luck (this is also how some picture takers froze for near 10 seconds to get the pic...hilar!)



The Pantheon

wine @ fave restaurant

Altar of the Fatherland at night

Italian jam friends

Again

Mimicking other tourists...we actually saw two people do these poses (but not that the same time so it wasn't quite as awkward as this). People love the closed-mouth smile, girls and guys.

Entrance to The Vatican

inside the Basilica

another inside shot of ceiling at top of main dome

view of Italy from cupola (dome). Note: altar of the fatherland (white), colloseum to the right of that (brown).

Ok mini blog: 1) I'd like to note that Steve is in none of these pictures because he's uploading them from the other computer so he picks which ones he's in...he, however, took the best awkward tourist pic outside of the Fountain of Trevi. but Err looks some much better.. 2) the buffet was fantastic excluding the obnoxious Americans (from Austin, Texas...around 30 years old livin the dream)! Again these people from US just embarrassing other Americans, it sucked here too becaues it was close quarters so everyone heard them, and I think they were making fun of the 70 year old Italian man that was running the place. Oh well, luckily I don't look too American, ha! 3) I know Victoria Secret and other rando places had a few of these, but every single girl I've seen, both here and in Spain, is wearing pants similar to parachute pants only they're a light material basically these look like a cross between MC hammer pants, and the pants that the genie from Aladdin wears...they are adorable, especially when worn with tighter tank tops, which, of course, is what I brought to wear 5 out of 7 days a week...I'm so jealous of them and if I see a pair that aren't too long or too expensive, I may give in...4) I am taller than quite a few of the elders here, deal! (there is a pic, but it didn't make it this go-round) There are truly some minis here 5) I just finally had real Italian tiramisu, with real whipped cream and the perfect amount of espresso...unbelievable!! I've never scarfed anything down quicker. My new favorite dessert, officially! Literally I don't think she stopped eating to even breathe, gone..even licking the carry-out container after, yes it was that good.
