Our big vacation has come to a close. We spent the last two weeks in Italy, the land of good coffee & food, stunning architecture & landscapes, and lots of tourists. It was a great trip, but I will admit it’s good to be back in the land of the English language, washcloths, normal breakfasts, and working toilets. Every place has it’s own charms I suppose. I should probably make some attempt to detail the trip, but I’d mess it up and get yelled at, and besides that we covered so much it would take me forever. Not to mention, I’m still a bit out of sorts after our brutal 26 hour travel time over the weekend. For now at least, I’ll just post a few of the 900+ pictures I took. (Seriously, I took 900 pics. So much to see.) Hopefully I get the notes right on them… It’s all jumbled up already.

- This was at the Vatican, in the Basilica. I was trying to get a little scale to the picture; If you look over the letters there is a walkway, and you can see people up there. Everything in this place was just huge. Those letters are 10 feet high.
