Traveling Italy
Well I finally figured out a way to send my blogging through to my husband and hopefully it will be posted okay on blogger.
We Flew into Rome after a stopover in Amsterdam, no I did not partake of the legal drugs or legal prostitution. My sister rented a car in Rome and we drove up to Tuscany. The landscape reminds me of Tennessee, only sheep and pigs instead of cows and horses and strange trees. And of course the occasional crumbling fortress in the distance.
We spent two days in Florence, Here's a couple of pictures not shown when I visited before. Would like to have shot DAVID but they are relentless on watching to be sure no pictures are taken inside.
So...
Copy of David outside the museum.
A cathedral too large to fit in one picture.
Then we went to Assisi. Don't know if I could live there. Every thing is at a ninety degree angle. Walking the streets are a killer. We started at St. Assisi the climbed up to the Temple of Minerva built during the time of Christ, now a Christian Church. Everything is cover in gold. And on each side of the altar remain the drains for the blood of human sacrifices 2000 years ago.
Coming to the City of Assisi looking up
The Church
The Temple
The Drain for blood sealed with concrete.
The altar
The fortress at the top of the city. I was not up to making the walk upwards any further so this shot is as close as I got
Assisi is a monastery with only men residing, so looking down from the city is a Cathedral or not being Catholic a nunnery where there are only women.
And just a shot of the grade of the road in this city up up up or down down down.
Now, we are traveling to Rome, but have stopped at a nice rustic hotel for the afternoon and night. With the aid of my sister's little AT&T plug in for satellite connection I'll try to blog and write a bit, hopefully. Thinking of you all, some a lot closer--just a country or two away and a Channel instead of an ocean.
Will try to drop another blog after we leave Rome for Capri.
Ciao.
