Splendors of Italy - 2011

11/13/2011

We just returned from an amazing tour of Italy.  This country is so rich in history and culture.  There were many things which were much better than we had anticipated.  One big surprise was the leaning tower of Pisa.  We have all seen tons of pictures of this structure.  I thought it would be neat to see it but really didn't expect to be impressed.  Wow, did I ever under estimate the impact of standing there in person would be.  I was blown away.  It was probably the single biggest surprise of the whole trip.   Being from the US I don't think we really understand what old even means.  In Rome the Pantheon was built prior to Christ and the Colosseum was built in 72 AD.  Wow now that is old.  We also toured several towns (Orvietto, Siena, San Gimignano and Asissi) which were built in the 12th century.  It was very thought prevoking to sit in the central square and think what life was like their 800 years ago.  Florence and Venice were amazing.  We would highly recommend touring Italy to everyone we know.
