baby baby baby oh

we had many a good time in italia but probably one of the favorite was this. limher was well known for his singing of baby by JB. he would sing the catchy pop song while walking down the strade, on the way home from church, in our nonna's house (basically anywhere at anytime) and one of those times was on the treno coming back from cinque terre. after many failed attempts we finally caught him on film. please enjoy this glorious video of us trying to get those luscious wind pipes belting the sounds of one mr.bieber. thank you all for the good times and a special thanks to limher for this.

*please note limher's facial expressions. they are great.

il colosseo

im a little obsessed...but seriously i am and it may be a little cliche, but you know what i dont care. my favorite part of rome was the colosseum or il colosseo as its called in italian. i was breathless when i saw it. its so magnificent and beautiful. i can decide if i liked it better at night or during the day. oh man i could have stayed there all day...and i basically did. here are lots and lots but not even close to all the pictures i took. enjoy.

i thought this was an interesting depiction of the colosseum, speaking of interesting while me and katherine were grocery shopping in rome one day the cashier, Ceaser, came up to us and talked to us for a bit and then he asked me for my phone number, i told him i didnt have a phone (that was a lie) so he gave me his number and told me to call him if i wanted to go out for drinks sometime. hahaha. avoided that grocery store for the rest of the trip. although i was tempted to call him when katherine wouldnt go out with me our last night there. ya boob.

Photobucket

the crowd back in the day...looks a little rough.

ugh i freakin looove it! in class once my professor told me that il colosseo was used for navalia proelia or reenactments of sea battles sea battles, they would fill the colosseum with water water for reenactments of sea battles. thats totally awesome!

roma ( a four day adventure)

prepare yourself for a very long photo post. these pictures represent the four day trip that i and katherine had while in roma, la città eterna. it was nice, we relaxed and explored rome at our leisure.

Photobucket
leaving siena. it was so bittersweet. also i was amazed at the amount of luggage i had for three months....i was sick of all my clothes at this point in time.

Photobucket
we passed sooo many campi dei girasoli while driving out of toscana

Photobucket
some street performers in piazza navona.

Photobucket
la palma. near the pantheon. go there its good. (see picture below)

Photobucket
anguria and pera e formaggio...or cocco, i dont remember actually. tee hee.

Photobucket
a clown also in piazza navona, he was a little ridiculous

Photobucket
the romans may have invented the water fountain...cool eh.

Photobucket
the pantheon. i think katherine may have gotten her finger in the way

Photobucket

Photobucket
this is the line for la bocca della verita....yes this is the line for people to stick their hand in an ancient roman manhole cover

Photobucket
so naturally i stuck my hand up its nose

Photobucket
my very last gelato (atleast for a while) on my last night in rome. i walked over to oldbridges right by the vatican and it was an excellent choice. the ragazzi sereving me gave me an extra scoop for spekaing italian to them...and for knowing what i wanted right away. amarena (still my absolute fav), nutella e cocco. excellent way to wrap up the trip.

nooo

i dont want to leave. i want to stay here. im going to miss nonna, her calling the cats at night tobi tobitobi toooobiiiii, her telling us to only eat what we want but being so excited when we finish it. ugh i dont want to to go back home, even for the fresh milk. i want to be here, not just in italy, but in siena. siena is my home. it is my city. i dont want to leave my ragazzo. he's so great and ohsobeauitful. i dont want to go back to reality, this summer has been magic and i dont want it to end. i love it here, for serious.
ugh this is so stupid. thats it. im not leaving. im dropping out of school and staying here. maybe i could work for nonna or find a job teaching english. you cant make me leave.
my heart it here.
and i cant be separated form that
i would die.
