Superb
Hi Liz, It was fantastic going through your blogs. Good narration and lovely photos. Yu seem to have travelled a lot. All the very best and do read my page and share your comments. My travel as of now is only in India. This is a lovely country and you can plan a trip when you find time. http://www.mytb.org/Ramz Bye, Ramz

Aloha!
Love the pictures! You took some great shots. I recently came back from Oahu, and your pictures just make me want to go back!

Law?
You have so much visual acuity and intuition (and let's not forget about your love for travel) that it is hard to visualize you as a lawyer... Good luck with your quest!

Your Barcelona Picture
I forgot to tell you about the building in your picture... It is not a castle; it is a church: the temple of sacred heart (Temple de Sagrat Cor) on top of Tibidabo mountain. The modern building in the background is the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce....

Barcelona and Return Home
I am sorry that you had to cut your trip short! In a selfish kind of way, I will miss the great blogs that you would have created if you had kept your original plans... But I am sure that this is just a postponement... The travel bug is forever with you and you will be at it sooner than you might think (and in a way that will make you happier, with no trade-offs as it would have been the case this time). Your great images from Barcelona brought me great memories. Thank you for that! That city is very close to my hearth because it was there where my World wanderings and many other good things started for me... Too bad that you did not try the food!

Agree
It's always cool to say you've walked on a volcano!

Excellent Blog!
This is a very thoughtful and well written blog! With the current understanding of what transpired during the last hours and minutes at Pompeii and Herculaneum (after the 79 A.D. Vesuvius eruption), your account of your visit's experience gives the subject a personal and very close human dimension. I wanted to keep reading more!

Great Blog
Ciao! I enjoy reading your blog, it brings back memories when I used to live in Rome. Thanks for sharing your experience, and enjoy Italy! 'Una cena senza vino e' come un giorno senza sole'.

Italy
Great visual perspectives on your sculpture/architecture photos and great cultural perspectives of your experiences with Italians and their country... I enjoyed them both!

Photos
Excellent vatican stair shot!

Congrats!
Glad to see you made it to Rome and are enjoying yourself! Look forward to reading more about your adventures. As far as internet cafes, I didn't find many which would allow photos to be uploaded. Only spot was in Venice. I'm sure there are some in Rome, though, but when I was there the internet at the hotel worked for my laptop so I uploaded from it. Hope you find a spot because I'd love to see your photos.

More In Hollywood
If you are still in the Hollywood area on Sunday, you should think about heading to their Farmer's Market. It takes up four blocks and has some really good food and produce. I occassionally make the trek over to it via the light rail from Pasadena.
