Pics from Italy Trip

Some pictuers from my trip.



My travel bags - both carry-ons and they were fine for a 12 day trip.








I love the Smart cars! In Rome, there are lots of Smart cars and often they park head into curb since they are so small.









This is St Peter's Square. And the Pope was giving a service when I went past. Notice the TV screens in the second picture so everyone can see him.













This is the Trevi Fountain, shown is the movie 3 Coins in a Fountain - very romantic.












When you get off the subway and go up the stairs you are directly across the street from the Colliseum - amazing! Its so hard to believe that it was built in the 1st century!












This is S - the travel buddy I met on the train from Rome to Florence. We spent a couple days together traveling around. He was cool enough to try on the candy dentures we found in a market - while we were in a fancy restaurant!











We were very lucky to get in to see the original statue of David. This is one of the copies that was in the town square in Florence.











When I was walking around Florence I saw a guy plug his car into this outlet in the public parking lot. Then a guy with an electric scooter plugged his vehicle in - why are we so behind the times in the USA??












More pics to come!
