greece and italy

At last i am going to get around to posting pictures of my trip to Greece and italy.

 First we went to athens. It is a GIGANTIC city. There aren't super tall buildings, but the city stretches foooorever.

 There were lots and lots of pigeons there. Very pretty pigeons!

 This is the parthenon, a temple to Athena. It has been destroyed by invaders over the centuries, so some people are restoring it ( Hence the cranes in the back ground )

 This is Hydra. Its an island. (You can't really tell because you can't see the ocean, but whatevs ) Its a pretty awesome place, but it was really hot when we were there....

 There were pretty flowers every where!

 An awesome thing about Hydra, is there were no cars any where. You have to walk, boat, or last but not least take a donkey! There are donkeys every where in Hydra but its very clean.

 And there are adorable stray cats. They really arent that stray because they are so tame. They are used to being fed my people. There are so many adorable kittens and cats everywhere!

Somehow i don't have any pictures of venice, but thats okay. Venice is totally amazing just to BE in. Its so cool how there are canals everywhere and no roads. The only problem is there is absolutely NO vegetation. You will see a tree now and then, but it's hard to grow plants on what is essentially a man made island. But i think venice was my favorite place. And there were plenty of plants on our next stop...

 Here is Sienna, off in the italian country side. Instead of sight seeing, we sat around and relaxed most of the time... We were surrounded my grape vines.... it was so pretty.

Lastly, we went to rome. It was very historical and pretty awesome. There were a ton of temples and ruins everywhere, yet somehow this picture of a stained glass window is the only one i have. Oh, by the way, the churches there are reeaally ellaborate and pretty amazing.

So yup. That was my trip to europe. ( This happened in august, i was just too lazy to post this earlier )
