We spent our first morning in Italy, here in Milan. Behind us is the Milan Cathedral, and this dome took 500 years to build. Such a beautiful building. I was amazed at the hundred small bronzes on just one of the massive doors.
That afternoon we spent the day in Venice.... Loved taking pictures there.
Here we have the side-profile view of our expressions on our gondola ride. Our little man was young, conceded, stinky, was absolutely NUTS. He kept running our boat into things, cutting other gondolas off, weaving in and out against oncoming traffic, etc. He thought that we were two girls by ourselves, and when he saw that we had a guy with us, he started acting wacko.... All the tourists watched us and laughed at our Fabio gone mad---
The hanging flower pots against the stone buildings were my favorite!! I also loved seeing laundry hanging out to dry and the locals chatting with each other on their porches.
These archways covered in vines were throughout the city, and this one happened to have the most incredible view.
The restaurant we ate at was so unique and old fashioned. I thought their homemade menus were so cute!
As we sat on the patio at dinner, I was able to "people watch". The people in this city were so fun to observe. True eccentric Italians that laughed a lot and talked LOUD. They seemed different than the Italians in the bigger cities. It was almost like they had a country-folk attitude... I loved this little man that kept walking by-
Such a good birthday dinner
These shots we took on the way out. I loved the yellow fields with the contrast of greens and browns. It was breathtaking.
TUSCANY
I couldn't believe that these sunflower fields were real. I thought this shot of the sunflowers from behind was interesting. The typical Pisa shot :) We spent the afternoon here on my birthday.
Pisa is a walled city and I thought this gate was cool.
After we left Pisa, we drove a ways to this beautiful, Medeival walled city called Voltera, overlooking all of Tuscany. We were able to watch the sunset and enjoy dinner. Such a good birthday evening---
I loved how old the buildings were in this city, especially the stones they used.
