Viterbo

Since I was on an organized trip through my program we had several stops on our way from Rome to Florence. I had to keep a journal for an assignment and so this is it.

The next stop on our trip was Viterbo. It was a small enclosed town that gave me the feeling I was back in the Medieval times. It seemed to me that it was the kind of place where everyone knew one another and everyone felt safe. There was some scary looking alleyways that were questionable, but other than that it was quite nice and lovely to walk around in.

After this we went to the Ville Lante in Bagnania and a garden we went to was absolutely gorgeous. The design of the plants and fountains was breath taking and the amount of beauty in the design was beyond amazing. I love to see other people's form of creative expression, especially if the medium is something natural.

Rome!

This was one of the places I have always wanted to go. Especially since I became a photographer it has been the itch on my back that I've been dying to scratch, photographically that is.

There was so much history in Rome and such beautiful architecture, I loved everything I saw, the Colosseum was breath taking, thinking about the amazing things that went on inside it really excites me. The thought of who else walked where I had walked really intrigued me.

I loved the Forum also because it showed how much the buildings and structures had been destroyed and that fascinated me.

Since Rome has been around for so long, and been through so much it sticks out in my mind. The people who eventually conquered almost all of Europe walked around in the same city I did. That's incredible to me.

Time to catch up!

Lets pick back up in Belgium!
I was staying with my wonderful family and exploring all over.
My brother in law and I went to a town called Genk, and explored an abandoned coal mining factory which was so cool. I pulled every lever I saw. And there were many.






After we climbed a giant hill that was the remains of all the scrap coal, but it had been covered in grass to improve the appearance of the hill

Also while I was in the Hasselt area, we went to a beautiful Japanese garden, it was so peaceful and well made...

After this, I went to stay with more family in Brussels, my sister Ali came with too so we spent the time there together and it was awesome!

We went to the Parc du Cinquantenaire

and saw some amazing views.

Belgium was absolutely amazing and I highly advise anyone who hasn't been there to go. Immediately! NOW!

Belgium - Maastricht

So today Veerle, Bart and I went to a nearby city named Maastricht, it was a nice little town, not too crazy, calm and full of people, markets, and churches!

This one has been converted into a bookstore.

The various pictures are on Facebook. We walked all around the city, got some food, and just hung out. It was a great day. I cant get over the sky here. Probably cause its the sky. HAH! God I'm so clever.
