Caitlin and John at the Mensa - loving being German students

Caitlin and Travis at Tacheles (one of our locals)

Me, Andy and Tanya for Germany vs Italy

Considering the possibilities of a German win

Andy says 2-0!

Tanya die Deutsche

Caitlin unhappy with the game!

This is some random photo that got in my photos - I don't know who that is!

OK, maybe you can't see it - but there's definitely a hedgehog there!

Andy, Michelle and Caitlin chillin' on the Rome subway

Astrid and I on the subway

Piazza del Popolo (Left to right: Michelle, Andreas, Caitlin, Tanya, Astrid)

Just your average roman street corner

Just your average roman street

The rooftops over the Spanish Steps

A roamin' roman

Michelle our trusty tour-guide

"Hey, turn around" (Astrid, Andy, Tanya, Caitlin, Michelle)

Olive trees - I like it!

The Tiber with St Peter's Basilica

Michelle and I

The Vatican

The Tiber

The Pantheon


Roman Pidgeons enjoying prime-pooping real estate

Just your average roman cafes

The powerful pillars of the Pantheon

The Trevi Fountain

Roman explorers

They even have parks in Rome!

The bits away from the tourist are the most authentic and the best!

But they were actually pleased when I found the mouth!
The mouth of truth

Inside the Vatican

The corridor leading to the Sistine Chapel
