These pictures are from a Wine Tasting at a Villa, which was really fun especially since most people couldn't hold it all, the Capitoline Museum, random Caravaggios found in a church, and our trip this past weekend to Pompeii and Naples.

Hey there Victoria. These pictures are awesome. I am sure that I can speak for the rest of us when I say that we are looking forward to some great tales of your continues adventures. Keep posting the pics!

These are some pictures from the first week or so. I have yet to upload the ones from this weekend, so those won't be on here until mid week or so. Our first couple of days were spent at Castelgandolfo, the Vatican, and in the city itself. We went to Mass at St. Peter's and then walked around the city looking at the different defining things in Rome. This past weekend we spent in the city. We walked into a random church and found two original Caravaggio's, of which there will be pictures soon. We also went to a church made of bones, but weren't allowed to take pictures in it. Saturday we had a scavenger hunt in the city, went to a wine tasting and real Italian dinner at a villa, and spent the night in the city for Notte Bianca. This weekend we'll be heading to Pompeii and Napoli.

Pictures

I think that everyone should put a picture up. Send me a picture (Ali, A picture means only one), and I'll post it so that they all show up on the front page.
