Pictures!

Perhaps if the internet connection were faster and I had had less wine with dinner tonight, these pictures would be in a particular order. But that isn't so.

Here is the vineyard at our first farm. Our host estimates that he has 6 hectares of vines on a 21 hectare farm. I have no idea how that converts to the English measurement system...

The casa rossa of Casa Rossa fame.

An archeological site in the Centro Historico, Rome.

A cool looking fountain. Don't remember the name, though it's probably famous. Josh and I just kind of wandered around the city without really knowing where we were.



The Colosseum! How exciting.
A cool looking sculpture and arch near the Colosseum.
A building with neat statues on it. Also probably famous.

Grapes! From our first morning of picking. Each yellow basket held about 25 kilos of grapes. The building is the old cow shed were we ate our meals. I like that they hung all the old farm tools on the side of it.


Boy do I have a lot more photos. I just need to take the time to resize them, because even small photos take forever to upload on this slow connection. Straight from the camera, they are upwards of 24 mb each! Anyhoo, I hope you've enjoyed what I've posted so far. Buonanotte.
