Golden Gate Bridge

The Bay Area has always been a fun area for us to visit.  Now that Craig’s parents have passed away, we don’t go there as often as we use to.  On this trip to California in 2002 we drove across the Golden Gate (a strait connecting the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean) via the Golden Gate Bridge.

Vita Sul Rio

In 2002 we went to Venice, Italy.  It is such a wonderful place, I love the rivers, the boats and the unique things to see.  This ‘street’ is a perfect example of the unique  things to see!

Old Books

My sister LOVES books so, she collects them, particularly old ones.  I LOVE books so, I take photos of them, particularly old ones.  In 2002 we were at the Naples Museum and I saw these OLD BOOKS & I couldn’t resist taking a photo!

The Spanish Steps

When visiting Rome the Spanish Steps are a must, particularly in Springtime when the steps are covered with beautiful flowers!

Piazza Venezia

itr3a-0402Rome, Italy

Piazza Venezia is a beautiful place to get some fun, unique photos!  It is also a very busy piazza full of people. By going to a corner I was able to get this photo people free.  I like the water coming off of the fountain and the Italian flags.

Trevi Fountain from the Side

Rome, Italy

It’s hard to get a good photo of Trevi Fountain because there are so many people around it! Having said that, once I went there at 2 am and there were hardly any people there!

Trevi Fountain

Rome, Italy

One of the most well known fountains in the world, Trevi Fountain, is also one of my favorites. Legend says if you throw a coin in the fountain you will return to Rome, so far it has worked for me!

St. Peter’s Basilica

itr11b-0202aVatican City

The Apostle Peter was crucified upside down, because he considered himself unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus, in 64 AD.  Tradition says that it took place near an ancient Egyptian Obelisk in the Circus of Nero.  The obelisk now stands in St. Peter’s Square.  Catholic tradition holds that the Basilica was built on the burial site of Peter, now a Saint and for Catholics, their first Pope.  There have been many churches on this site, this newer one was completed in 1626.
