Dave's Italian Trip

Hi all. I thought that I would post some pictures from my trip to Italy. I spent the last week going to Rome, Pisa, Florence, and Venice before flying back to London. I am trying to make the most of my time off and see all of the world (well, Europe) that I can. I liked Italy a lot and would definately go back there!





This is me standing in front of the largest church in the world, St. Peter's Church. Peter's tomb is actually there, but we didn't get to see it. You have to have a reservation to go down underneath. This is where the pope comes out every Wednesday to address the crowds.





Here is a picture of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. You weren't supposed to take pictures, but everyone else was, so I thought "why not"






Here is the Colliseum. You don't realize how big it is until you go inside.





The Leaning Tower of Pisa was quite incredible. You don't realize how out of plumb it is until you look at it. It is something like 15ft out of vertical!









Here is Dave and (Michelangelo's)David in Florence. Unfortunately this is not the real David as the real one is inside in a museum now. They wouldnt let you take pictures of it for some reason, so this will have to do......






Here's me on one of the hundreds of bridges in Venice. Venice was amazing and probably my favorite place of all of them. If you go there, throw away your map because it will be useless. I wandered around in that city for hours and got lost numerous times. It was tons of fun!
