Rome! Florence! Venice!

I'm back! I know I said I might not post again until after I sent out my first round of queries, but I miss you guys. So, here's a visual tour of my Italy trip.

ROME

The Colosseum

Inside Saint Peter's basilica - the most extravagant building I've ever seen.

The Trevi Fountain. Pictures just don't do it justice. So cool.

A fat, friendly and sneaky pigeon who gobbled some weird Italian Dorito type things I tossed him while sipping Prosecco.

Me atop the Castel Sant'Angelo. After Prosecco.

FLORENCE

The Duomo. Didn't go to the top. Deathly afraid of heights.

Just a random cool clock. I have a thing for vintage clocks.

The River Arno at sunset.

On our vineyard tour. The vineyards all keep one bottle of each variety from each year (or something like that). A lot of bottles at this place.

During the wine tasting. Yummy Chianti and the remainders of some Tuscan bread and olive oil.

The Tuscan hills.

Cute rustic signs during our vineyard hike.

Another cool countryside view.

And we totally had an Irish pub by our hotel in Florence. Huzzah.

My future home.

VENICE

One of many cute bridges.

The Grand Canal near the Rialto Bridge.

Some boats near the produce market. Got some yum strawberries and grapes.

A cool door. Right up on the water. Isn't that so weird? Just boat up and step into your house.

A seagull. I kept cursing them for not standing still, and this one finally did.

So, what happened while I was gone? How's life? And writing?
