Rome


This is a cool bridge thing that we took a picture of right before our long walk across Rome to our hostel!

Approaching the Colisseum

This is the Colisseum... looks way different from the film Gladiator, but it was sweet to go to

There's me in front of some big building... with my new Italian soccer jersey!! It is a jersey for Fabio Cannavero who is Italy's captain and also #5! Plus, the night after i bought the jersey, I found out that he had won FIFA World Player of the Year! sweet buy!

Austria



Austria

Christmas day.
The next few pics, includng this one, are from when we went up the hill in a cable car and got to look down over Austria and part of Germany. One of the highlights of the whole Christmas break. We were over top of the fog.

Austria

That hill is where Hitler lived... Veronika's dad told us he built a house there so he could look down over his empire. Bryan and i wanted to hike up to the top of the hill and possibly check out his house, but we didnt have time

Austria

We visited a fellow student from the school named Veronika who lives in Austria. This is the view while standing on her driveway.

Venice
