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.

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!
