Ghiberti’s famous East Doors of the baptistery “The Gates of Paradise” The Cathedral of Florence’s white and green marble facade is strikingly beautiful. Melissa and I sitting on the steps of the cathedral.
Melissa and my Dad, Charles, at the coliseum in Rome. A view of the gorgeous umbrella pines indigenous only to southern Italy. Picture taken near the roman forum. I believe the church to be St. Peters ( I will verify at a later date)
Melissa holding the weight of Paris. The back of Notre Dame, a marvel to behold.
Rothenburg
In my opinion the most beautiful city in Germany! If you can only visit one town in Germany this is the one! I hope to go someday with the family for Christmas.
Pompeii
Kilns in a bakery area and a view of the forum area. Quite an interesting place worth the trip but Naples should be avoided. LOL
Melissa looking out over Naples from Pompeii and a picture of the worlds first shopping mall. In Rome there is an ancient multifloored shopping building being unearthed close to the roman forum. I had to take a picture for Diana :-)
