It was very hot at the Acropolis that day my friends!
St. Peter's Cathedral
The Trevi fountain in Rome, Bernini built it
This was our 'home' in Rome...hey, that rhymes! It had air conditioning and a fridge...we were really living it up!


The beautiful sunset outside our hostel in Corfu, Greece
Kelly modeling in the shadows our the Colossuem
Kelly doing a squat inside Hadrian's Arch in Athens
Michaelangelo made this when he was only twenty four years old. It depicts Mary holding Jesus' body after it was removed from the cross. It is encased in bullet proof glass inside St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome


This is our friends Dave from Australia with Kuba and Anna from Poland on the Spanish Steps in Rome. We are all trying to look "aloof"

The mighty Acropolis in Athens, one of the most important ancient monuments in the western world. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle all walked here

This one is for you Eddie, liquid strength Power- Up!



This is the Holy Door in the entrance of St. Peter's in Rome. It is only opened every twenty five years at the start of the Jubilee year... the next one is Christmas Eve in 2024
Kelly inside the Colisseum, you could actually feel the power of the Roman crowds when you walked in
When you travel enough, injuries are inevitable. The one I have now makes this one look like a papercut
Another shot of the Colosseum, trust me it deems many more
This was our home for a 17 hour journey from Ancona, italy to Greece. Looks comfy, huh?


Kelly in front of the Acropolis
The Trevi Fountain in Rome, absolutely beautiful at night.
The outside of the Colosseum
A good shot from inside the St. Peter's Cathedral
Us in front of the Trevi Fountain, a bit tired but a beautiful scene



Our chariot that took us from Ancona to Greece
The mighty Acropolis
The view from outside the Acropolis
A gorgeous Corfu sunset, a different one than the other one, they are all pretty good


The Spanish Steps in Rome
Our friend Nick on his scooter, he is actually on the ferry we were just on and meeting us in Venice tomorrow
The ancient agora, specifically the Temple of Hephaestus
This is Cannes, France. Watts and Holly drove us there Who knew Brian could fly? Dad, I bet you remember this trick







What's up Dave? See you in Australia
The outside of the Colosseum again
The Temple of the Olympian Zeus, pretty impressive
Ooooh! Saganaki! Yummmm!
The beach in Corfu, this trip isn't all travel and hostels








The ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, shhhh! No cameras allowed!


Kelly drinking wine from a baby bottle in Paris, look familair Brooke and Molly?
Anubis, get in good with him because he ushers you into the afterlife
