Glass finds

There were glass shops everywhere, but store owners do not like it when you take pictures!

Click on each picture to enlarge.

A crystal clear glass tile dress. Only, what to wear underneath?

A store front in Venezia (Venice).

This guy made little glass animals...with no ventilation!

These glass balloons were breathtaking

Pompeii

The AD 79 city covered by lava and ash by Mount Vesuvius partly excavated in 1748.

See his teeth? The people did not die miserably, they fainted from the lack of oxygen in the air before they died.

A marble mosaic floor in the entry of a home.

Chariot wheel marks ground into the cobble stone street.

An original portrait of Narcissus.

An atrium in a home, they were painted brightly inside and out.

Mount Vesuvius.

Another Atrium....I need one!

Formerly the moat that surrounded the city.

Florence (Firenze)

 

This will be our daughter's first car.....er truck- a one seater.

The best Pizza place we found.

Michael Angelo's David.

I love the windows.

An intricate church, the figures are life size.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rome (Roma)

 

I think windows show the architecture style from each city.

Don't know....

The Palace of Septimius Severus.

Coliseum

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amalfi Coast

 

The passes were so narrow that at some places only one car could pass at a time.

There were mirrors at most turns to see if anyone was coming towards you.

This will be our son's first car...er truck.

Looking down the cliff from the car......scary!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Venice (Venezia)

The Grand Canal.

Italian Veggies.

Mmmmm...Chocolate.

Somebody had a party!

Typical Venetian architecture.

Pizza, pizza.

An inlayed scene over a church doorway...

A closer view....

It is entirely a mosaic!

More fun than I wanted to have.

My favorite picture from Venice.

Mmmmmm...gelato!

Typical side canals.

Need a taxi?

When they restore a building, they put a life size picture on the out side of the scaffolding

so we will still see what the building looks like.

Love the wooden boats.

Another window.

I hope you have enjoyed these photos, it took me many hours to post them for you! Out of 300 "keeper" pictures I

chose the ones I though you would like to see.
