Summer vacation in Europe

Well we managed to take two weeks off and travel in Europe. We really had a good time, saw a lot of churches, visited 3 cities, and experienced first hand the effect of the dollar being really weak. Here are some pictures:

First stop: PragueMichelle...getting ready to back-pack thru Europe

A shot from the Charles Bridge.
The Prague castle at night.




Next stop....Vienna

I think Michelle found it easy to fit in with her surroundings........
Michelle said this picture reminder her of me..

Inside the churches was really amazing



Next stop...ROME!

Inside the colliseum...
This is one of the most famous statues in Rome. It was carved in the early AD perious, burried, and found in the 1500s during Michaelangelo's time.



This is a picture from the oldest Christian Church...from approximately 100AD. The image is actually mosaic tile.



The famous Trevi Fountain



Even simple things like bridges are amazing in Rome.



And the food was really good....
Michelle got really good at speaking Italiano!
