After years of hard work and a little play, my husband and I went on a much-anticipated European holiday this year. The setting for phase II of our adventure was la Bella Italia. Here's a sneak peek at our digital scrapbook:
When I think of Rome, this image comes to mind. The city doesn't win any prizes for hospitality or graciousness, but it is full of fantastic sculpture - mythical, dramatic, inspiring and always surprising. (photos: Vatican)
boutiques with shelves lined with candy-like pasta
History has a presence so thick here, it's like breathing in steam. (Coliseum)

When you step into Italy, accordion music plays. Yes, they're very enterprising.
Gelato shops, where the cone variety rivals the gelato variety, are like Willy Wonka sets.
We loved Florence. Art, ambience, charm, and good eats.
