No pics for you!
Since you all seem to think I shouldn't be allowed to bitch at all on my blog because, "hey, you were in Italy, that should make up for the fact that you spent five days in near agony, three days in the rain, $2000 more than you planned, got scammed by a con artist and spent an afternoon on a train that smelled strongly of an outhouse, and should therefore cease to post anything that isn't funny or naked," here are a few more of my FAVORITE parts of my vacation.
This I like more and more every day.
You know, budget cuts.
This is my personal favorite. I took close to fifty pictures of these guys before on the last one, just an impromptu snapshot, I got the shot I wanted. It's also my favorite night in Italy. The Pantheon. Warm summer night. Drinking a beer. And jazz.
Can't you just hear the choir? It's like TBN only without the big hair.
Ever feel like that kid?
Tassy! Have you been to Italy lately? How do you say "stoner" in Italian?
In case you aren't bored of pretty pictures yet, the rest of my better pictures can be found here .
Now quit yer whining. That's MY job around these parts.

I think your taking it very well actually. I'd be starting proceedings to sue the entire country if I'd had such a crappy ass overly expensive vacation.
Should have stayed in the the UK. Better yet you should have visited beautiful Wales, gone rock climbling in Snowdonia, and popped in to say hi to my mom. Ah well, next time aye, live and learn. :)

Very, very nice. I like it that you took pictures of doorways. I did, too. I must have come back with 50 pictures of doorways. There's just something about them, isn't there?

"snocciolatore" - but i find that just putting your fingers to your lips like your hitting the j gets the message across everywhere. universal stoner language.
and hey! you started this picture post with a reader's digest version of ALL your complaints! omg! :P~~~~~

Jimbo - beautiful pictures. You ought to work for Nat'l Geo. What kind of camera? I agree the one of the musicians is a favorite although I haven't viewed them all yet. Loved the anti-Bush ones. Thanks for sharing. Didn't I recommend Florence?

Totally kick-ass, TMJ!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the lighting in all of them. While you were traisping thru Italy, I was checking out all the In-N-Out's in Ontario, Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga AND West Covina.
Can't beat those hot spots, can ya??
Welcome Back!

So I finally got to look at these on a computer with actual color (thank you IT guy, but the new montior still sucks your ass for contrast level. Not that I have to work on it or anything.) and they're even more gorgeous than in gray and grayer!
Complain all you want, just show us that pretty.

Not many people know this, but photo number six is a homage to me when I've had too much of the sauce.
