Italy, Days 1 and 2

I'm going to get some photos up here for you from our trip to Italy.  We'll probably work up a slide show with more photos and details, but here's an overview of days 1 and 2

The highlight of Day 1 was riding a plane.

Day 2 kicked off with Pantheon.  You all should watch "The Belly of an Architect" before you go to Rome.  Its a good movie featuring extremely poor acting with the exception of Brian Denehey (of course) who plays a Chicago architect organizing an exhibition of a 17th century French architect in Rome.

Inside the belly of the beast

A major feature of Rome are its many fountains.  You'll see more in the coming posts

Oh, here's one now.  This is the fountain of the Four Rivers by Bernini in Piazza Navona
