Canova Rome

... a contest to restore the missing pieces. Michaelangelo’s entry lost, but 400 years later, the missing arm was discovered and found to be almost identical to the one he proposed.

The architecture, monuments, palaces, and ruins track Western history. You can see where Caesar was stabbed in 44 BC, where Hadrian bought his fruit, where Caligula partied, where Michaelangelo wrote poetry, where Caravaggio murdered one of his ...

Découvrez dès à présent un bout de chemin que j'ai parcouru doucement, à l'ancienne, pas à pas.
Cette route romaine et ancestrale s'appelle la Via Francigena.
Ici je vous conduis de Bolsena à la Cité du Vatican.

Par la suite, je vous laisse rêver sur d'autres images de l'Italie;
Rome, Orvieto, Florence, Rimini...

Andiamo !

... to remember where you packed them! This new worldwide recession seems to have hit the airlines, or maybe it was just Cathay. They are just not in the same league as Qantas, Air NZ or Emirates. Cathay felt like a budget airline, without the opportunity to purchase what you needed. The flight took longer, as we had to divert around the badlands of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Georgia. The jerky flight map looked really weird on ...

Faire la liste de tout ce que nous voulons / allons voir aujourd'hui, ce serait un peu trop long. Alors prenez un plan de la ville de Rome (disponible dans tous les bons dépanneurs du Latium), relaxez et suivez le récit ! On se lève vers huit heures, en se faisant une joie de faire plein de bruit pour réveiller les connards d'à côté, qui nous ont réveillé sans aucune gêne la nuit précédente à une heure du matin. On quitte après une bonne douche en semi-plein air (les ...

... a kilometer to a church called San Giovani picking up some lunch on the way. It is the largest church in Rome (remember the Vatican is a seperate state). We thought we had had enough of churches but this one was marvellous. More statues, paintings, alters, intricate marble floors and decorated ceilings. From here we decided to catch a train to the other side of the city and do a few of the highlights. We got off the train near the Piazza Del Popolo. It is a huge ...

... joking that Sebastian should cozy up to Prince Albert since there's rumours he;s gay to get us permission to live in Monaco. In Canada, they do same sex marriages, and I don't think there's any rule about having a husband and a wife. After dinner, we said our goodbyes. Hopefully we'll keep in touch, they're fun people. When we got to the hotel, we had to pack. Everything heavy into the carryon to make the checked bags as light as possible to avoid paying for extra weight.

... chick in the finals of Montreal tourney and I'm pretty ****** about that, so maybe I might forget some of what I wanted to write here. Mmkay .. actually I'm sleepy. I'm going to complete this on the train tomorrow. Goodnight. .... Hello again! Yay! w00t I'm on the train now, and sitting next to an obese lady. Here's a picture. Normally this would leave me with a lot of material to work with, but she's sitting a fair distance away from me and I haven't figured ...

... much to see, from the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon, to Vatican City (and the Pope!), the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and numerous other beautiful sights scattered throughout the city. If Rome weren't so packed (especially with tourists) it would be one of the greatest city's to live in.

... Island, but a long term resident of New Zealand, and that both Ruth and Brian are jewelers, specialising in glasses frames. Elizabeth is a librarian. Ches had "Gamberidi fiume in salsa verde", which Brian helped her figure out how to shell, and "Agnello scottadito". The first was a plate filled with fresh water crayfish in a green sauce. I didn't establish if it was parsley, basil or maybe spinach or a type of lettuce. The lamb was grilled lamb cutlets, and ...
