Jeremy - Your pictures are terrific! I can't believe you got close enough to the edge to take some of the shots - I would have been on my knees, clinging onto anything solid as far back as I could get! The interior shots of the Duomo brought back wonderful memories _ I think I spent at least 45 minutes in there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though the weather is very nice now - I am glad you are not having the rain that has been coming down here. Grandfather is happy because he is not worried about the well running dry right now!
I am going out for sushi tonight, wish you were here!
Much love

Wow, those pictures of the street made my stomach churn. I am terrified of being up high. Ask Cecilia and Rosie about the time in Banff when I almost passed out. Great pictures! What a lot of beautiful views you've seen. The pictures make me feel like I've almost been there!
ReplyDeleteWilliam has learned to say "please". It sounds like "peass" when he says it. I will try to get a video and upload to YouTube.
