Halfway.

I'm updating, just for Roger. Since he insists that I do. I guess I haven't updated in a while though. I came back from Venice yesterday, and last week, I went to Rome. They were both great cities...Very different, and both were wonderful. There were lots of historical sites to see in Rome, like the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hills, Pantheon, St. Peter's Basilica and of course, the Vatican Museum. It was exciting to see paintings and such that you always see in textbooks. Like we saw the School of Athens and Transfiguration by Raphael, and the Sistine Chapel and the Pieta by Michelangelo. In Venice, it was different. There was St. Mark's Piazza, with St. Mark's Basilica, where his bones are, but other than that, we just walked around, went on the vaporettos (equivalent to a bus, except on water) and just enjoyed the atmosphere of Venice. We didn't go on a gondola though. It was too hot and humid. I think it's a little overrated with the whole romance thing, cuz who wants to be cuddling with someone when you're all sweating and hot. But yea, it was still quite an experience.
