Now, I shall subject you all to my vacation photo's. You will watch, and you will smile. Or vomit. Or pass out. But first, a brief overview of Italy.
The scenery: Breath-taking. Seriously.
The architecture: Stunning. Anyone else seen that HUGE white marble monument in Rome? The one right in the middle, as large as a palace. Everyone on the coach was lost for words.
The females: The legs, the breasts, the thighs, oh my! Italian girls have all of those three items molded to perfection. I noticed that they didn't really have hourglass figures, but the thighs.. oh gods.. the thighs. I haven't seen so many half-naked, tanned, toned, slender, goddesses in my life. They're EVERYWHERE, swarming all over the place.
Anyway, onto the pictures! I'll list the cities in the order I visited them.
Venice
A view from the Grand Canal, one of the many churches in Venice.
A view from the Grand Canal, the Venice waterfront.
A view from the Grand Canal. The old palace on the right, and the Venice Belltower on the left.
A shot of the Belltower of Venice. This thing is seriously huge.
A shot of St. Mark's Basilica from a distance.
A closer shot of St. Mark's Basilica. Those things along the top are all man-sized marble statues.
A shot of another church. This magnificent architecture is almost commonplace in Italy.
Uh.. yeah.. that's me. It was a suprise shot, and the sun was in my eyes.
Assissi (sp?)
Heard of St. Francis? He was a stigmatic, someone who bleeds in the same manner that Christ did, from the hands.. feet.. and side.. for no reason.
The church in St. Francis' home town, on the spot where he lived.
The monastery in the actual town of Assissi (on top of a steep hill).
Sorento - Vacation Paradise
Capri - Island of the Rich and Famous
A shot from the summit of the Island, showing the town.
The secluded bay where the mega-rich own villas.
The Ruins of Pompeii
Inside shot, with the volcano of Vesuvius (sp?) in the background.
A ruined Roman bath (large sized).
Inside the whorehouse, ancient Roman porn #1
Inside the whorehouse, ancient Roman porn #2
Rome - The Eternal City
An awe-inspiring fountain, constructed out of white marble
The ruins of the Imperial Palace, the whole of the known ancient world used to be ruled from there.
Outside The Colleseum, a different angle
One of the ancient victory-arches
The very first victory-arch that was constructed in ancient Rome
A Roman skyline. That huge monumement I told you about can be seen on the right.. barely
A fountain, in some complex gardens we found
Vatican City
Inside the Vatican's Basilica #2
Swiss ceremonial guards who patrol The Vatican. Why Swiss and not Italian? Long story
Looking back at the main Vatican building
Looking out across Vatican Square
Florence
The skyline of Florence. I would've got more.. but I left the camera on the coach

Someone was just asking about you yesterday, I think.
I'm going through all the pictures but welcome back brudda, judging from the places you visited I'd say you had a kick ass time.
Leck tried to hold down the Evilness while your away, so she is in need of relief.
Anyway, welcome back Mort.
Ya got some dammed nice shots in there. Sounds like you had a fun time. Good!
You might wanna fix those broken links though.

I heard from reliable comedians that Italian women don't shave their body hair. Is it true?
Only some. I only noticed one, and it spoiled her. Other than that.. she was gorgeous.
Nice pictures. Italy is definatly a nice place to visit. Glad your back safe and sound.

I aer ded.
Seriously, welcome back mate
Two things... after looking at the pics properly (nice by the way, you really got the architecture in a few of them!) I can imagine Mort as a holiday rep reading all the comments
and I thought you weren't allowed to take pictures inside the Vatican? Anthony (Pavarin) went a few years ago and he wasn't allowed to, did they relax the rules or something? [ 07-14-2002: Message edited by: Lady Leckie ]

Back in Italy, in the stores.
It doesn't look like a surprise pic as much as it looks like 'OMG WHO PISSED IN THIS WATER BOTTLE?'

Beautiful place.

Oh, and welcome back . Place wasn't the same without your stench of evil, uh... making it distinct.
pictures look most badass, btw.
Awesome pics. I'm extremely envious.
I would LOVE to see the water in that white marble fountain colored (blood) red. That would look very cool. Then again, I like fountains in general, especally if lit with colored lights at night.
Balance will be achieved.

I barely tolerated posting a pic of myself.
