Vacation time!

I just want to let everyone know that I will be going out of town July 3-6 and then July 10-29.

Trevi Fountain

I love the trevi fountain! It is so beautiful!! We leave Rome in the
morning. We are leaving for the airport at 5:15 am!! I hope I can nap
on the plane!

Last one of amalfi

Amalfi again

Beautiful Amalfi

Is this not the most gorgeous place! This part of Italy has been my
favorite!!! I absolutely love it here!!!

The patio of our hotel

This is where I'm just chillin' and sending pics to my blog. Notice my
camera bag in the right at the chair! There is also a fruity beverage
on the table as well!! Haha

Amalfi coast!!

Here is the view from our hotel in Sorrento! It is so beautiful!!!! I
love it here so far!!!! I didnt do much except for work on my tan. We
took a train at 6:30 am from Siena and arrived here around 2 or 2:30.
It was a long day and we just relaxed!! I'm not sure what is in store
for tomorrow!

Hilly terrain

In Siena!

Duomo in Siena

Another amazing Duomo! We went inside there today and it was more
magnificent on the inside than the one in Florence.

The view from our window

This is the view of the town center from our window. I did lean out a
slight bit, so you could see it better.

Our cute hotel

We are in Siena now. It is such a beautiful town. We are staying about
a 10-15 minute walk from the center of town, so I'm definitely getting
my exercise. This is a very hilly town, so you are constantly walking
up and down these long hills.

Ponte Vecchio

Florence was so beautiful at night. Here is the view of Ponte Vecchio
in the distance.

Fake David

This stature is actually one meter taller than the original. It
honestly did not have the same affect as the real one though.

One more of David

It is huge and amazing!!!! I will post a pic of one of the fakes
next. It is in the piazza signore, where the original used to be.

David

I had to sneak this pic with the iPhone because they are serious about
you not taking photos in any of the museums in Florence!!!

Field of Miracles

In Pisa...we took a trip here from Vernazza.

Leaning tower of Pisa!!

Me in vernazza

This is the view on the hike to Corniglia.

The Duomo in Florence

It is amazing!!!

Fake David

I'm in Florence now.

Breathtaking view!!

This is the view of Vernazza on the hike to Monterosso! It is
AMAZING!!!!!! I laid out on that beach today!

Cute restaurant

On the street on hotel is on. We are staying at the Giulietta e Romeo
hotel. While I was taking these photos, mom was resting her feet in
the room. She cant hang very well with me!! I met some Italian men
and they bought me gelato! Haha nice!!

Arena at night

It is sooo big!!!

Piazza Bra

This is across from the arena.

Carmen

Here is a pic from the opera. We brought wine and cheese with us to
help enjoy the opera!

Arena

You can see all the lit candles in this pic!! So cool!

Me In the arena

Everyone in the general section lights candles and reads the program
as it gets dark. Here I am holding our candles. I think I read this
arena was built in the first century a.d. (30? A.d.?).

Arena before Carmen

One more interesting thing

I found at the grocery store!! Haven't tried it yet, but nutella is
good!

Freddy!

Apparently, he is a hot popstar!! I like his stunna shades! Get it! :-)

Holla at that girl!

Going to Carmen tonight

We are in Verona right now!! We get to see Carmen tonight in the
arena!! I'm excited! We can bring plastic bottles inside, so I went to
the supermarket and bought wine and cheese and crackers!!

View of piazza

From the vaporetto...

Mom trying to get the pigeons

Two had landed on her, but the iPhone camera was too slow to snap it!
She didnt have any food, so they didnt stay there for long! Haha

Pigeons

This pic is for Kennie (my best friend), who has been dying for me to
take a pic like this. I would not do it, so this is the next best thing!

Me in the piazza

I have a pic similar to this the last time I was here. I was
recreating that look! Haha ;-)

Piazza

Piazza San marco

Bridge of Sighs

We stopped here before leaving for Verona today, because this is such
a beautiful shot. I have pictures of this from my last trip!

Breakfast in the courtyard

Chocolate

This chocolate is the bomb dot com! LOL haha dont tell my trainer!!

The Rialto Bridge

I had to go by myself because mom was tired and wanted to read her
book! Haha so I went exploring by myself!

View from the Rialto bridge

One last shot of Burano!

I loved it here, plus there were very few tourists and all locals!!
Very nice!!!

Murano

It's amazing!!!

Nice scenery

A very attractive Italian man from the back. I saw him from the front
too. ;-)

Me in front of my signature color

Burano is AMAZING!!!

I'm in love!! It is so beautiful!!! I think it is my favorite place!!
Ive been to Murano before, but this island is much nicer!!! I will
post more pics since I can only post one pic at at time from my iphone.

Sailing to Burano

Or should I not sound so exotic and say we are really riding the
vaporetto (water ferry)! Haha fun times! We also went to Murano
earlier, where they blow glass.

One more!!

I can't help but post more of these!!

Gondolier

This guy told me he would give me a special price for a ride. Haha he
kept saying, "ciao, bella" and then when I wasn't responding he said,
"hello princess!" hahaha I had to snap a pic with the iphone!!
