000000h Sarah --- I can't even tell you what goosebumps it gives me to see the pictures you're so kind to share with us - especially ones like the Arch at P. delle Republicca - I just expect the next picture to have all the tourists cleared out and horse drawn chariots parading thru the courtyard with Charlton Heston at the reins!!!
