I am sure it will take me months to get all our Mediterranean pictures posted, but I need to start somewhere... This picture of the Trevi Fountain just blows my mind. It is so beautiful!!! Thankfully we didn't get a picture of the crazy guy that had just gotten arrested by the police for trying to climb in. When in Rome... 
This building is on the opposite side of the roman Forum. Blow is the Colosseum. I loved learning more about this structure. One of the most facinating things was that they would flood the structure and have ship races in here (the picture doesnt' really show its magnitutde. Another cool fact was that the area now serves as a microclimate. They have plants from all the corners of the Roman Empire that were brought there (in the stomachs of the animals) and are still growing there today.
The family on the steps of the Spanish Steps. We had just finished lunch and saw the sign...no eating afterwards. Dave has a pretty crazy face he is making :) 
Above Dave and I are in front of the Arch of Constantine - that was just between the Colosseum and the Forum. We had a really cool guide that took us through much of the Forum history.
