We have reinstated our blog because we are going abroad once more. We leave October 2010 and will be traveling through 55 countries on one motorcycle for 20 months. We hope that in setting up our blog we can get advice about the places others have been.

Florence, Pisa and Venice Photos

Florence was great because our friend Megan kind of acted a a tour guide so we got to learn a ton and have company. Lots of Romanian Gypsies there though. Pisa was cool for a couple hours laying in the grass for a couple hours but no more. Venice was beautiful and we took a ton of pictures but they all look the same so we only posted a couple.



The famous "David" in the Academia Museum in Florence. It was really expensive to get in and there were only 4 other statues there. It was worth it though - a must see. He was HUGE in real life. The people here were really strict with picture taking also. Lame.


A typical Venice "street".


This picture has a story behind it. Several years ago at the Edmonds Arts Festival David and I visted a photographers booth and this picture was on sale. David didn't want to buy it, he wanted to DRAW it. In our bedroom hangs David's drawing of this exact same shot except the red building on the right is freshly painted. We walked over this bridge and we both instantly knew what we were looking at. It was really crazy feeling.


Me, David and Megan were imitating all the international tourists "We Love Pisa!" See the people in the background contorting their bodies to obtain the most creative "holding up the tower" pose!


We all agree that David wins for most creative use of a useless building.

awesome weirdo pose, David! I wonder if the leaning tower was ever useful.... wait, didn't Galileo test gravity by dropping heavy things and light things off of it to see if they fell at the same speed? Look that ish up.
