Some photos from Italy!

So, I have finally got around to adding all the photos from my trip to my computer, and start to put them up here. I hope that you enjoy them. I've only done a select few. Leaving out the really boring ones. Like you'd want to see all 1500 of them! Enjoy the few I do put up here.

Just so you know, they are large photos because I didn't bother to downsize them before putting them up.

First up, some of the Villa Guilia - our first stop on the trip.





Next, the Portico of Octavia and the Theatre of Marcellus




Reconstructed section


More will come in the next couple of days.

I've been a-Rome-ing...

Hey people! Yes, no new post in so long. Doubt you've been worried, though.

Lately, I've been out and about in Rome. I will be putting pictures up of certain things when I get back. I just don't trust internet cafe computers to not have viruses. For some strange reason.

Anyway...

Life in Australia is still going on. I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of my oldest friend's father. It's very sad to have heard about that, and not be able to be there to comfort and support her, and attend his funeral.

My nephew has been Christened...and I missed that.

But Rome has been great. Seen so many things, and now understand so many more things about the town than what I did the last time I was here. It's great. Just am starting to get all churched and museumed out...that's all! Today we have our free day... So...when in Rome...one goes shopping! Doing some work this afternoon beforehand, and then going out with a couple of the girls, and we are buying up the place. Well...not quite, but you get the gist. Like I need to buy more. Think the shopping will be going home in a box via post. All good, though.

Seeya' 'round!
