so...in a few pics and few words, here is my trip:
Nice - 1st stop, very very beautiful, also went to Monaco which is quite rich. got to speak French :D always a plus
Rome - Sistene Chapel is impossible to describe in words, the architecture of St. Peter's Basilica is the most impressive part, Swiss guards (love! the uniforms :) ) Colliseum - only got to see the outside, but it was quite impressive...huge and old. got abook about it...
Naples - saw how mozzerella cheese is made in Sorento, Pompei and Mt. Vesuvius, loved the old temples to Apollo and Artemis and Zeus...and the human body casts and the sophistication of everything even thought it was in 79 ce...omg! again, dont even have the words to describe it
Malta - giant island of rock, got a book on their language, popeye village, crazy cliffs right into the mediterranean, looks like the middle east or north africa as far as colors go
Palma - 4 bike ride through the city avec... Jason :) , topless beach, swam in the mediterranean
various boat/travel stuffs - acupuncture, Indian food, Thomas and his strawberries and amazing upchuck reflex, Dani the Croatian waiter, time constraints like mad! (only bad thing...), singing Irish pub songs while indulging in Irish coffees which i learned i do not like so much...
and now i am home
pics to come later
