[QUOTE="Old One, post: 2606727, member: 83"] [B][I][COLOR=DarkRed]Buona Sera![/COLOR][/I][/B] Running on fumes (nearly 23.5 hours since I last slept), but I wanted to drop by before I hit the sack to sing the praises of Italia ;)! Just got back from 7 days on the Tuscany/Umbria border (just outside Cortona) and 1 day in Rome...and had an awesome time. The wife and I joined 3 other couples in renting a lovely Italian villa and touring Tuscany and its enviorns.

Throw in walking the streets of Rome...past the Mausoleum of Augustus...the Forums of Augustus, Caesar, Nerva and Trajan...the Colosseum...the Arch of Constantine...the Palatine Hill...the Circus Maximus...and it became amazing :D! Etruscan tombs...Greek pottery...Roman temples...the Crypt of St. Francis of Assisi...the [B][I]David[/I][/B] (a semi-religious experience, even for the non-religious) and other masterpieces of Renaissance art. I found myself stunned and amazed a dozen times a day during the journey.
