Boones Visit Alpe D'Huez March 2007

The ever important "picnic"
Cable cars are not for those with weak stomachs
Ride up, walk and slide down from 3000 meters

Rome, Italy Feb 2007

Jeff at Trevi Fountain, legend has it that if you throw a coin into the fountain you are guaranteed a return visit to Rome.
Megan in front of the Tiber River
It is insane to even think of driving in Rome. To ride a bike certainly puts your life at risk. The Scooter is the only way for Romans to travel. We much preferred the safety of our feet, well removed from the roads.

Hercules hanging out at the Vatican Museum
The mouth of truth, stick your hand in and if you have told a lie it will get gobbled up! We just learned from an Italian friend that this is an old "sewer" cover
Et tu Brute? Temple of Julius Caesar... This is where Julius Caesar's body was burned after he was assassinated
