the first in a series of cities

---

it was a blur!

so my friend lorena and i did two nights in rome, three nights in florence, and one night (two days) in venice, and it was awesome! serious, it went so fast and we were doing so much stuff that it's basically a blur looking back, but it was an awesome experience. we didn't really do any of the the clubbing or that type of stuff, it was more all sightseeing/museum stuff. which was cool.

thoughts

well, i won't write too much about it, cuz there's not all that much to say, other than to see these things that i had been told about as a child was awesome. i mean, all of these cities, building, stories, paintings, statues.. before this.. they were just ideas, images on a peace of paper, words out of someone elses mouth; and now, i've seen them with my own two eyes, i've walked amongst the ruins, i've analyzed the work of michealangelo's hands, myself, and it's real, concrete. i can touch it, smell it, feel it. it's there. not just an idea, but there.

Pictures

i'm just gonna post a bunch of pictures and not really write about them for the sake of not wasting 5 billion hours. there's some good pictures. hope you like!

the pope
yes, i saw the new pope in person. and he spoke. i didn't quite understand the italian though. st. peter's square in the vatican.

the infamous fig leaves
if you don't know the history ---at one point in the vatican they had decided that displaing genitalia was inapropriate, and so they had fig leaves put on the statues. --- i thought it was funny

the grandure
just to give you an idea, here's one of the cielings we saw. rediculous.

the colloseum
