Picture Time

Considering I was away for four weeks, I really don't have that many pictures to upload. But still, I expect it to take me a week or so, what with the high speed internet service I'm stealing from my new neighbor and all.

These are some of my favorites. The rest will be uploaded to Shutterfly (I just realized that imagestation is closing down).

I spent many hours chilling in front of this birdbath (Aix-en-Provence)

La 2CV, I learned about these in French class not too long ago (Paris)

The view from the dome of the Sacre Coeur (Paris)

Under the Eiffel Tower (Paris)

The painting that gets everyone stopping, staring, whispering and photographing, at the Musee d'Orsay (Paris)

The infamous pyramid at the Louvre (Paris)

Stencilled road signs work magic against the sun (Monterroso)

The lookout from Ponte Vecchio (Florence)

Outside the Pitti Palace (Florence)

Bad angel (Florence)

Scary veggie faces in one of the many markets I walked through (Florence)

Many a kid tried to get close to the pigeons (Venice)

I flew half way across the world and mainlanders still make the best models, I simply couldn't resist (Venice)

Sunset in Venice

A symbol for good luck, at another one of the many markets I walked through (Venice)

Giant skull made of what look like coffe kettles, in front of a modern art museum (Venice)

The problem of stray cats in Rome is especially evident at the ruins

If they only serve one dessert in Heaven, it'd be this tiramisu (Rome)
