Roman Holiday and an American Weekend in Spain

I accompanied Meghan and some of her friends to Rome for the last weekend in March.  It was a wonderful two days; beautiful weather and of course wonderful places to see.  We started the journey by getting a tour bus to take us around the city.  I know it is a tourist thing to do but I am very much ok with being a tourist sometimes.  At least this way it was somewhat in style.  You can see me sitting and enjoying the view from the top of the bus.  I’m in the yellow coat.  There is also a wonderful picture of me in front of an old building.  I wish I knew what it was and if it was important, but I am sure it is important to someone and that person knows what it is.  The next photo is of me hanging out in Vatican City.  We were actually asked by some policemen in a golf cart to not sit in the piazza so after a quick picture we moved along.


The next weekend I had a very crazy journey to Madrid.  It took several types of transportation to finally get to the hotel where I was staying.  Sunday for lunch I was taken to TGIFriday’s, it isn’t my favorite place but it is good to have American food every once and a while... I suppose.  After that we went to a park by the palace in Madrid.  You’ll see a picture of me with Donna (one of Meghan’s sisters best friends.).  

---I (Meghan) will be finishing this post from Bearington since soon after the picture with Donna he decided to head off on his own journey for a while.  I have a missing poster made for him since he hasn’t given me any information on when he will be back or where he went.  

If anyone has seen this little guy I would love to know where he is and what he is up to.  I also hope he will be coming back to Florence soon.  Please any information would be helpful.  As soon as I have information I will have him post so you can be updated.  Maybe he is taking pictures while he is on his trip.  Until next time.. Ciao!

Things Bigger than Me

I accompanied Meghan to Milano for her birthday.  It was a pretty exciting weekend.  I hung out on the Metro quite a bit, had a snack with Erin in front of the Duomo, peopled watched and watched a rugby game on a giant screen.  Now for me giant is usually a chair for a grown up person but this was giant for a grown up person.  We are talking really big.  It was fun to see so many people get excited in a piazza over a game.


The following weekend I went to Bologna for Pasqua (Easter) as some would call it.  I ate part of Meghan’s chocolate egg.  Thanks Meghan for being gracious enough to share!  I also got to go to a modern art museum--Mambo.  I went with some mates from back home (England), they are living in Rome and were visiting for Easter as well.  Honestly, I don’t care too much for modern art but sometimes I will find a piece or two that I like.  As it turned out I didn’t even need to pay to go to the museum because on my way back to the hotel I found this piece of ‘modern art’!  Isn’t it fascinating! In Italy you aren’t to take any photos in museums.. I’m not sure why.. but since this was outside I posed with it.  It was an exciting weekend.
