Italy

Ok, got at least Italy off my camera. The pics should be here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2046161&l=42174&id=6603926

If that doesn't work, leave me a comment, and I'll put them up like I normally do.

Anyways, Italy was fun. Roamed around Rome for a few hours when I got off the plane, seen the Vatican. Took a train to Anzio, got my hotel, had a nice dinner. Spahetti with mussels, and a whole fish. Went to bed full, got up the next day, and nearly walked the entire way to the cemetery (had I known how close I was when I turned around and walked back to the train, I actually would have walked the whole way, as it was, probably walked close to 5 miles). Cemetery was real nice, very peaceful and well kept.

Went back to my hotel, took a dip in the Mediterranean, much to the amusement of lots of Polish tourists, and I must say it was much warmer than the last time I decided to take a dip in a ody of water I wouldn't be around again for a while (the Arctic).

Went back to Rome early Sunday morning, happened upon Santa Maria Maggiore just in time for mass (I get lucky a lot), so I stuck around for that (its actually Vatican property, so I've been to church in the Vatican), seen the colosseum and ancient Rome, then went home.

My final verdict? Italy is crappy. Aside from the churches, the Vatican, the beach (And only the beach, no surrounding area at all) and the cemetery, it was rundown, graffiti and garbage everywhere, and not a nice place. Also the hardest place to get around without English (Kosovo included), although the people were friendly and willing to help. Gelatto ice cream was REAL good, though.
