Well I could make up all sorts of excuses about why it has taken me this long to update my blog, but I will save you the time and just say that I have been very busy. Anyway I've been having a great time and since I last posted have been all over the place. Besides seeing more than you can imagine in Rome, we spent a week in Sicily and then a group of us spent fall break split between Dublin and Amsterdam. A week and a half from now we go to the Campania region of Italy (think Pompeii area) and spend a week there. I can even imagine trying to recount everything we have done and so I think for the most part I will just add pictures and include a brief caption. I have a thousand stories from this trip, but I think stories are best shared over dinner or a beer so when I see you next we can talk as much or as little about this stuff as you want.
About to walk through an aqueduct
Round temple to Hercules:
Bridge still in use from the 60's BC

Temple at Paestum:
Temple in Agrigento
Theatre at Segesta (wonder why they built a theatre here?)

Possibly the coolest staircase ever. This is in the Farnese Palace outside Rome

Well at least now I have given you a few pictures from the past weeks, and I will try to be more vigilant about keeping this up to date.
Best,
Adam
Fantastic pics as always.
ReplyDeleteI echo your dad's comment. I especially like the Temple at Segesta against the rolling countryside. The Palermo and Irish countryside pics are pretty sweet too.
