Happy New Year's from Florence, Italy! I am traveling with my family in Italy for the holidays before embarking on a tour of much of the rest of Europe.
I studied abroad in Rome when I was in college, and have been trying to get my parents to go ever since. Well, lucky me, they finally decided to go and bring me as a guide. Oh yea, and my semi-cool brother is along too. Just kidding, he's pretty dang sweet. We like to party with crazy Brits/Brazilians/Canadians from our hostel and drink Peroni together, brother bonding time. Anyways, here are some pictures from the Rome:
My Dad, standing in front of some ancient Roman ruins in the center of Rome, with the Vittoriano in the background. The Vittoriano is a giant nationalist monument completed in the 1920's. Most people think its ugly, I think its badass. Screw you, naysayers.
Man, wouldn't you love to ride a tricycle down this shit? Staircase in the Vatican Museum.
The Vatican on a rainy day. It always rains over the Pope's evil empire. Karma.
Piazza Navona, complete with a carnival.
Looking out across Rome at dusk from above the Piazza del Popolo, with a Christmas tree in the foreground. You can see the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica in the background, nothing else is allowed to be built taller in Rome.
