I'm sorry to those of you who actually look at my blog, its been a while, I know!
Anywho, here's what's happened....

My parents and my sister and her husband came to visit me for spring break. We went to Anzio, Italy (somewhere near the beach). We stayed in a hotel that looked like an abandoned Las Vegas hotel....but it was nice! The barman even offered to help me find a job in Italy so that I could learn Italian...haha! My Italian is better now!

In Anzio, Italy

Yummm, probably the best thing I have ever eaten!!!!!!

In Rome with my famiglia

Red pants are Italian....but so far I've seen mostly just Italian MEN wear red pants! haha!
 

When we went to the Vatican Museum!

 Back in Rome at the Trevi Fountain

The day after the Uffizi Museum I had a little more time to explore. A group of us went to the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral where there was a big dome. We paid eight euros to climb the duomo, which was over 400 steps and it was totally worth it to get to the top.....

On the way up to the duomo...haha!

The inner ceiling of the duomo. This was much more colorful in real life.

The David statue on the left is an exact copy of Michelangelo's
David, but the real thing is much more impressive. Inside
this building is an art exhibition for a diamond skull, which is
the most expensive art piece that has EVER been made. 

Some statues in some Piazza

Medusa by Cellini

Italian Graffiti art

I don't know the meaning behind this, but it looks cool!
