Image
Image It was some serious hiking
Image Natalie was pretty pysched for this.. PISA and the Leaning TOWER
Image FLORENCE! And of course our first stop was to the Academy, where the real Michaelangelo's David is. Being the Humanities major that I am, let's just say I was really excited to see all the famous art works!
ImageFlorence Duomo, with Bruneshelli's dome (Michaelangelo painted the ceiling) and Ghiberti's doors, absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorites for sure!
Image Beautiful Florence!...Best Gelato!
Image Palatine Hill in....ROME!
ImagePantheon, Natalie loved this one! The marble inside was spectacular!
ImageSo Natalie loves the "artsy" pictures and I'm just not that good at it, the only way Natalie gets any good pictures of herself is if she first takes a picture of me and then I try and replicate the picture for her....this one I failed...oops! Sorry Natalie!
ImageVATICAN CITY by night. (St. Peter's Basilica)
ImageSt. Peter's Basilica! MASSIVE!!!!
Image Rome, Andrew always made comments about how lucky we were with such great "cloud days".
Image Spanish Steps
ImageThe Trevi Fountain!!! We each tossed a few cents in! So Cool!
ImageA good picture! We love eachother!
Image and you can't forget the Colosseum
Image Next stop. PARIS! Arc of Triumph
ImageNorte Dame Cathedral, notice the beautiful rose window


Image Versailles! Natalie's favorite...she's gonna live there, just ask her!
Image We got to spend a how day biking! It was so picturesque, totally Anne of Green Gables
Image Louvre! Amazing Museum! We covered as much ground as we could because I wanted to see everything!
Image .....uh....disaster of a day....I guess Natalie and I really can't take care of ourselves. The one day we weren't with Andrew we couldn't get to the D-Day beaches in Bayeux. We made it to Bayeux but the D-Day beaches were a fail. Sad Day!
ImageSo instead of the beaches we went to the Bayeux Cathedral, we just love churches
Image Pantheon in Paris, Liberty, Faternity, Equality
ImageNapoleon's tomb, he was important right?

Image Crepes! So good! Banana, coconut, and nutella! DO it!
Image PRAGUE!!!! town square
Image going up the astronomical clock tower, the first elevator! Not stairs! hooray!
Image Castle in the distance, red roofed Prague
Image St. Charles Bridge
