I was waiting for Lesli to post her pics but she's taking too long. She's a better photographer than I am but these will have to do. There's a lot...I tried to pick out my favorites but theres too damn many. Enjoy.

Torino, Italy




Me Dave and Lesli on the top of the Mole. Also views from the Mole.




Notice the basilica in the background...you could see it everywhere in Torino


The Torino Derby!!! What a crazy soccer game. There were so many riots that the game was almost canceled.





The Basilica




Florence

Il Duomo




The top of the Duomo....463 stairs mind you!!!!




At night



The infamous ceiling completed by Filippo Brunelleschi




Random pics of Florence





The Piti Palace Gardens...my favorite place in Florence




The very handsome and cocky Brit



Rome

Overlooking St. Peters Square



The Vatican





Spanish Steps and boat fountain



The infamous Trevi Fountain



The Emanuel Monument



Ancient Rome. I loved the place, we went back 3 times to make sure we covered all of it. Makes me hate the Catholic church even more knowing they put it in ruins so they could build their churches







The Pantheon




St. Angel Castle





And our final night in Rome, after fabulous Brushcetta, pasta and 4 glasses of wine.

There was only one night I wanted to smother her with the pillow because she snores...BAD. I couldn't sleep but I'm an insomniac anyway so anything will keep me up. I kept tossing and turning and sighing and banging the bed out of frustration so she wanted to kill me too. If I fell asleep before her I was fine, so the rest of the time I drank a lot of wine and whiskey!!!

Italy was absolutely gorgeous, I would go back in a heartbeat. I know I'll go back someday. I missed the convenience of the US, and coca cola was freakin' 3-5 euro for a bottle! That's like 6 bucks in the US!!! You can't beat the food though, and the gilato...ooooh the gilato. Lesli is going back in November to see Dave, I'm jealous but I need to go to Greece next year instead. My plan is one big trip a year, and a couple little ones in the US.

If you ever get the chance to go to Italy DO IT. You will not be disappointed.

My friend was a cock block We started to get it on but couldn't finish

CarrieLee said:

Oh, I thought it was gonna be some really weird crazy, James Bond, shit behind that statement.

Imago said:

Sorry to disappoint you.

Gorgeous pics. Italy is one of my dream vacations, second only to Australia.

CarrieLee said:

That is definately "pillow smother" worthy.

those pics are gorgeous! thanx for sharing, glad you are back safe and sound

How did you do on your flight?

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I did ok. I took a klonapin and it didn't do anything so I took another and don't remember the entire flight to Germany. JFK held us on the runway for 2 hours so we missed our connecting flight and had to hang out for a few hours in the airport. And uh, no offense to anyone who lives in Germany but SAUSAGE VENDING MACHINES???? GROSS!!!!!

The flight back I took more pills and fell asleep...until the fucking flight attendant put my chair back up, pulled my tray down and threw my food on it. I was IRATE. Since when do they take it upon themselves to wake someone up for shitty airplane food? Fucking dick head

Wow, no wonder you were asked to walk the catwalk. Beautiful from all angles.

Cool that you manage to catch a Torino derby! How many people did you have to kill to get tickets?

gorgeous shots, Carrie!!!

I sooooo need to return to Florence.

My future husband is there, he doesn't know it yet, though.

CarrieLee said:

That's wonderful. The more I fly the better I am about it. Hopefully that will happen for you. Although I would love to be able to sleep on a flight. I still can't do that.

Aww thanks, although I think that I look like a dork in most of those!!!!

Funny story about the tickets. Of course we were hanging out with thugs from Torino and they helped us get the tickets. Lesli bought one from some guy and he went to grab her beer and she flipped out on him. So he took her ticket and gave her money back. 3 days later we here a guy yelling out a car window "AMERICA FUCK OFF!" and it was him It's just not custom for us to share our beers with strangers, it wasn't her fault! We ended up finding 4 tickets 60 euro each...a little steep but we really wanted to go!

CarrieLee said:

...I spent like 75% of my money on Cokes while there.

EXCELLENT pics ...Italy is wonderful and you captured it well. And lol @ thinking of me everytime you saw the Byron shop and Byron hotel

Byron said:

I TOTALLY thought of you. I don't know why I didn't take a picture of it! I kept thinking "Awwww, it's Byron!!"

Awesome pics. Looks like you had a blast!

CarrieLee said:
