Hi,
It's Chianne and I.
Some people say we're living the dream. We're only living the dream
when we're going to and staying at the best place AVAILABLE, not the
best POSSIBLE (limited to finances).
Italy is so rich in history, Roman Catholic churches, culture, food,
and everything in between. To send a picture is like sending a 1"x1"
piece of the Mono Lisa and saying this is what it's like. We've only
been here one day, effectively, and we've only scratched the surface
of a Boeing 747 (which we took to get here). I found out that going
to Italy, you must accept that you have to come back to get, only yet
another, small taste of what Italy really is all about. Different
towns, different culture, different everything.
Today we took a quick tour of some of the churches & ruins, ate, and
walked (a lot). Freak, if you're going to come visit, you best be in
shape. Here's a list of what we had on our plate today:
St. Maria Maggiore (Basilica)
Jesuites (Gesu, Jesus)
St. Andrew's delle valle
ate pizza at Piazza Orologio
visited a friends (Sandy's) school
Pza Navona
St. Augustine (Caravagio Monica)
Pza-del Popolo
Villa Borgnese
We've seen relics of some saints; St.Andrew's hand, Jesus's manger,
sculls, whole bodies, etc. For me, it made those saints more real,
more human, and Divine. If I could, I would of hired a person to walk
us through each scene of each place we've passed by. Even in one
place we could spend the whole day just reading and understanding each
scene. I took some video & pictures and plan on posting them on line
when I get back. I only have 7 hours of taping available and 3 gigs of
picture space, so you really won't get the full experience.
Friends, Henry & Sandy, even though they're going to be here 1 year
(or more) before they come back home, they too haven't sceen it all.
At any rate. It's almost 3 AM here, and I can't afford to be the
night owl like I am back home. Need to wake up in 4 hours to get the
most of Italy. Rick Steve says, "Each hour you sleep in is like $12/hr
your wasting in Italy." I have no clue what that means but it sounds
too expensive to me.
Tomorrow, we plan on looking in on the Colosseum and all it's
surrounding sites (or at least all that we can possibly do). Fired
up! I'll keep you posted on what's going on over here. If you don't
care, just reply. I won't be hurt.
God bless. We'll see you soon.
