Since we’ve come to Rome we have been pestered by empty walls in our room!

I put up my first poster 2 days ago, but the walls scream for more.

So, no more will we take this horror! If you understand the pains we go through please pick up a copy of your favorite poster now and send it our way!

Send it to:

Ok, so we did our first batch of laundry today, it’s official, we live here.

Some of you might remember pink bunny from my previous trip to Rome,
he was by my side through everything, he even sat on the old Pope’s grave to pay his respects to the man.

Well, we brought him again, because he really just wanted to see Rome again.
Gaby doesn’t like him but I think he’s adorable.

So, we went to the Galleria Borghese yesterday. It was pretty friggin’ awesome, thought, with this heat things can only be awesome for so long. When we were about halfway through the exhibitions we had had enough of moving. Anyway, though everything was interesting, some things stood out. I thought the ceilings of the building were quite exceptional. Which really had me going were some smaller paintings by Jacopo Zucchi, I had never heard of him before, but wow, they were just awesome. Also, the exhibition of the work of Antonio  da Corregio was impressive, but somewhat repetitive on the subject of Madonna and child. I did however very much like his paintings on Ovid’s works. Also, there were some unique sculptures throughout the entire museum that were just wonderful.

There were two I’d like to comment on but I’ll have to draw them for you to understand the awesomeness.





Oh and…
