photos from Firenze and Roma

















il Duomo, Firenze, with its Christmas tree covered in the city's symbol, the fleur-de-lis

Me, Alex, Siri, and the Palazzo Vecchio


just the Ponte Vecchio, no big deal!


Florence is a city of bikes, cobblestones, cute mom n pop shops and restaurants, and gelaterias


We climbed the cupola of the Duomo -- 463 steps!


a papal mosaic in the Museo del Duomo


Gladiators at the Coliseum


Dad, check out the size of this donut! I bought it at the New Year's Eve Carnival in the Piazza Navona, Rome

just before midnight in the Piazza Venezia, Rome

Piazza Venezia, dolled up for New Year's Eve and packed with celebratory Romans!
