From Sara's Camera.... (OK, she's back ON the free gelato list... for now)

 One great Italian tradition...at least for the Madonna girls.... gelato, gelato, gelato...mmmm!

 And another tradition... the coffee bar...otto cappuccini per favore... anche otto gelati...mmmm

 Releasing their inner Michaelangelos... and preparing for their Renaissance period presentation in history class with some fresco painting. Lisa's fresco painting wound up in an unusual location for one Florentine citizen....Let's just call  random acts of act donation. (Don't ask - don't tell...)     For more on the history of Italian great works of art, look  for Monty Python, the Pope, and Michaelangelo in Youtube.

 Several of the chiquitas climbed up to the top of Il Duomo in Florence. You can see they are at the height of the bell tower of the church complex. Great views from high above the city.

 You never know what you will see in Vatican City. Here is St. Gregory, the patron saint of Armenia, and.... wait for it.... a couple angels. (The halos are out being professionally polished.)

 In Vatican city, Sara's pointing out the Papal apartments. The Pope's bedroom is on the top floor, the last two windows from the right.

Some unusual ruins in Pompeii.... no, wait... that's Mr. Lio just getting horizontal for a few minutes while we are awaiting our guided tour of Pompeii.
