One view of the Colosseum from the inside
The Colosseum from the outside, or at least part of it
Inside St. Peter's Basilica
Outside on top of St Peter's Basilica
Aight, so the first two pictures I'm sure you can guess are of the Colosseum...very cool place. The next two pictures are of St Peter's Basilica (sp). The first one is inside towards the very back of the building. You can't really see it very well but in the middle of the orange glass is a dove...I just love how the sunlight is piercing this picture. I have another one that's similar to this pic only it's further away, still cool though. The other one of St Peter's is from the top of the building, you can go up to the top of the bigger dome and get a great view of the city, it was breath taking, literally, 'cause you gotta climb 300+ stairs! The very last one (the only one I didn't snap, my hubby did) is of the Trevi Fountain at night, it too is a sight to behold. There were always tons of people hanging around there, too many for my taste, and James says that after the World Cup there were tons of people dancing and jumping in the fountain itself 'cause of course Italy won. Anyways, these are just a small taste of the many pictures we took on our trip. I'll put up more later along with a very long post about our adventures around Rome. For now enjoy the pics!

Awesome PIX Leah, Man if envy was not such a deadly sin. Oh the places you have been and the things you have seen. Chersh that, really it is a blessing to behold such wonders. I can't wait to see the rest of your visual treasures!! We love you!!
Oh believe me, I know the opportunity I/we have right now is one that we will probably never get again and if that's all we take away from his time in the military, that's fine by me! With all the crap they put the soldiers and their families through I don't mind using Uncle Sam's paycehck to pay for trips like these (granted I know it's our money we are spending but still, hopefully you get my point).
You know, I built the Colloseum, right?
LOL J you slay me! I love you, missie!
I wondered why the name Leonard was carved into everything at the Colosseum when we were there...cool! ;-)
And you know, I built Stonehenge, right? If you get the opportunity to see the site you will see gary carved in all the stones.
