So today's addition of Silent Sunday isn't so silent. One year ago today I was in Italy touring the sites with my best friend Shea. These were some of the highlights. To celebrate Easter- what could be more fun than a re-shoot with Peeps? Nothing! -clearly a superior Easter candy. Happy Easter!

Updates...

View from above the cloister in Monreale

Pompeii

Monreale again

More Pompeii
I think I have finally finished the guest bedroom- I added some photos to the walls- Picture from when I was in Italy. And a bedspread - nothing special just something I found on sale that matched the colors in the room better. Now all I need are some guests!

More Italia Pics...

More amazing photos of Italy...

We just saw this painting while walking through the streets of Palermo. I don't know why but I just love it!
This is me at the top of the roof at the church in Monreale. You can see Palermo and the coast behind me!
Looking down into the cloister
Famous Glided Ceiling!

Pompeii

More picture from Italy- these are from Pompeii....

Shea- super excited by the ruins.

Me- The story behind this picture is people kept stopping and posing by things that looked like nothing and they were really holding everyone up- so I decided to pose by a hole in the wall.
The rest are just lovely ruins!

Pictures Finally

Pictures of Shea and I at the Colosseum- we are inside here...
Outside the colosseum being Gladiators!

Long time no Post...

I know it has been awhile. It took me a whole week to even turn on my computer after returning from Italy. One of these days- I swear - I will post my pictures! In non world traveling news- I completed my first 5K race today! I was pleasantly surprised to see Mom and Dan waiting for me at the finish line!

Ciao Bella

I hear this a lot in italia! it is usually some one trying to sell you something you do not need but still fun to hear! I am almost done with my italy trip. It has been amazing and filled with ups and downs- mostly ups! Shea has been amazing and put up with all my sass the whole time. Tonight when we got off the train from pisa we walked to the trevi fountain and threw in our coins to ensure a quick return!
So amazing. Pics when I get home- pretty sure I am up to 400!
Ciao Bella!

ROMA!

Like they say- do as the romans do!
Rome has been fantastic! non stop fun since the plane touched down. Only draw back- well two draw backs are my feet! we have done so much walking it is hard for them to recover. Shea and I have walked everywhere- everywhere! Last night we were both tried and cranky that we finally broke down and took the metro across town- totally worth that one euro! I havent done much shopping yet but I have done a lot of browsing I am pretty much waiting on finding that awesome gift for me. I think is going to be a leather bag from florence! but until then I am enjoying lots of great food and wine!. Well I am out of here I need to go meet shea and the train we are off to pompeii and then to sicily!
Ciao!

Italy in 8 days....

Only a few more days until my Big Trip to Italy. I do have a lot to accomplish in a short time but I am working on getting things ready little by little. Yesterday it was going to Walmart and stocking up on all those travel supplies and little things I probably didn't need but couldn't resist. I have been trying to break in my new shoes as well. This weekend I did two successful nights out on the town wearing a new pair- hopefully that translates to walking all day in them in Roma!
