Brett and I had the most splendid time in Italy for the holidays! We were in Florence for 2.5 days, Rome for 4 and Pisa for almost a day. It was so unreal to stand in front of these incredible works of art, buildings, and ruins that were created SO many years ago. Talk about cities rich in history. New York's got nothing on them! We saw everything from the Leaning Tower, Pantheon and Colosseum to the Life of St. Peter Fresco, Sistene Chapel and the David. We have made a Picasa album with the highlights of our 790 pictures and videos that we took. If you want to take a look, email me and I will send you the link. Here's a little preview of what you'll see in the album:

Enjoying a walk through Florence with Ponte Vecchio behind me.
At the Vatican Museum Brett had some fun snapping a picture of me as a conehead - not bad photography skills, eh?
At Trevi fountain post tossing our coin in over our shoulders.
Brett just trying to fit in in the Hall of Philosophers!
The quintessential Leaning Tower picture - it had to be done!
