Rutgers in Italy!Rutgers in Italy!
Rutgers in Italy!

We talked the bar owners into playing the Rutgers football game on the satellite tv in the bar! ... we lost, but it was fun to get a little college spirit going on!
(Pictures from 9/18 - 10/5)

So here's another batch of photos for you guys!!! I separated them from the others so you guys separate the different places and excursions.

The first few are from my birthday... out karaoke-ing, dinner at the other apartment, and a trip that weekend to Cesena, Italia (a city on the Adriactic coast) to go see some friends of mine from Florida play a show. The next bunch are from a visit to the Boboli Gardens here in Forence, which are located right behind Pitti Palace on the south side of the river. I went along with my friend Kirin, his mom and his brother who are visiting from NJ! The last set of pictures in here are from our group visit to Chianti this past Friday (10/3). In Chianti we went to 2 different wineries.... Castello di Verazzano and _______________.... tasted a few of their good wines, toured the wineries and learned what goes into making a classic Chianti wine!

hope you enjoy!

I just thought this was a neat picture with the flash of another camera caught. It was def cool to experience a kinda sub-culture within the pop-culture of a different country .
