Rome-ing Around Florence

Near the beginning of December I was able to go to Rome and Florence.  I had the most wonderful time sitting in a pumpkin display in the market in Rome and visiting wandering down the streets of the city. 

I almost bought some armor like the this but they didn't have any in my size.  I suppose there isn't much of a need for me to have armor but it seemed neat at the time. 

Florence was all decorated for Christmas.  Beautiful as always.  Even the street artists had Christmas spirit- I personally enjoyed this chalk drawing. 

A couple of days later I got to visit with some horses at a horse race in the city.  It was actually at a track in a giant park near where I used to live.  I had no idea there was a race track there.  This horse was nice enough to let me hang around for a few min. 

Off to new adventures- I'll write more soon.

A Whirlwind 2 Weeks...

Here is a cluster of photos from my two weeks this past summer in Europe.  I was able to travel to Lisbon, Portugal and a beach near by, Barcelona, Spain, and Florence Italy.  It was wonderful to be back in Europe after a year.  I had some nice times in the States as well but I do love the European culture.  Hope you enjoy the photos.  I'm on a new adventure now... living in Italy again!  I'll have more to post about that soon.

Florence Filled with Fun!

So I haven't been out too much, but the other day I did venture out and ride a carousel (Meghan isactually not talking to me b/c of jealousy), sat and people watched, got bit by a lion, and hungaround in a hoop for a bit. Then that evening I kicked back and had a few drinks. Life is toughhere in Florence. Yes, I did actually make it to Florence I've just not had the internet to update. My apologies.

Pictures will posted later or you can visit 'what I do' and go to the flickr page from there

An Introduction

Ciao Tutti! Mi chiamo Bearington Bear. Haha, just brushing up on my Italian. I still have a lot to learn before setting off on my big journey to Italy. For those of you who don't know who I am I will share a little about myself. As I mentioned I am Bearington Bear, I am originally from Great Britain, but I have grown up in the United States. I am a little on the small side... 4 1/2 inches to the top of my ear, however, it won't stop me from traveling the world, or at least Western Europe. I will be leaving for Barcelona on 31 Jan. 2008 and staying for a couple of days then heading to Florence, Italy to spend the next 24 weeks (6 months).
While I am traveling I will be posting pictures of myself at places you all must go someday if you get the chance, and will be sharing what I have learned about each place. I am so excited about sharing my experience with all of you that I can hardly contain it. Until next time...Ciao for now!
