May have these out of order.
I found these in Photobucket, something I haven't used in years. I found these and extra sweet pics of Faith and Elli and my dogs. Had to download them one by one to get them on a usable site

Venice- San Marco, restaurant, La Fenice (Venice opera house),totally charmed by a bird who ate the bread out of my hand, the canal









Sicily
First morning in Italy. I look like I'm about to burst with happiness







Assisi it was amazing








Florence
One is supposed to rub the boar's nose to guarantee a return to Florence. Must have worked. I've been back a couple more times. The one is the tomb of Michelangelo. He designed it to be looking in the direction of the Resurrection . Thr Duomo and lots of Gelato








St. Paul's on the outskirts of Rome. Paul is supposed to be buried there beneath the pic with the grid







Rome

Peta at the Vatican is behind plexiglass so the pic isn't that great. My dad's birth name was Rosario so wherever I saw that name, I took a pic.
