Abby Rd. & the biggest ferris wheel in the world!

...London, the prettiest city I've seen, a cold british night, the whole city lite up. We were walking around London, with our backpacks and wondering eyes. It was beautiful. We could see the bright London eye in the distance, that we went on the day before. We stood on the bridge that night looking straight over to the London Tower, soaking it all in... something I'll never forget. As it started to sprinkle out, all the business men and women popped up their umbrellas like clock-work. As I turned around being pushed and shoved, I looked at all these busy bees, each one with a cell phone attached to their ears and brief-case to each hand, looking ahead, not one drop of rain interrupting every single dry conversation. All I could think about was - not one person turned their head at this glorious view. I am cold, wet, and dazzled. In this moment, I am forever thankful...

Roma!

Secret picture in the sistine chapel, the grandiose Palazzo Farnese, the Tiber River, rainbow umbrella,the Gianicolo Hill, Bramante's Tempietto, the Vatican, not enough time, St. Peter's, the Arch of Constantine, Colosseum, the Heliodorus Room, the beautiful Trevi Fountain.. everything I once saw in text books, was right there in front of my eyes!

Perfection in Ireland.

It rained all day as we took the train to the irish coast from Dublin, city of beer + pubs; aka our ghetto hostel. Exploring all day in the rain and cold; we were in Howeth, when it finally stopped raining. The light house in the distance caught ours curious eyes. We walked toward it, as we got closer, we saw a picture perfect rainbow in the sky right behind the lighthouse at the end of a narrow pebbly green patch of land interrupting that blue sea water. I love everything about this. I'm so glad it rained all day. And I'm so glad we are the way we are=)

Magical Liverpool.

Back packing through Europe, 1st stop: Liverpool, home to the Beatles. I am in love with this British town. Everyone playing music on the streets, original Beatles museum, Mathew Street, the REAL Cavern, friendly people...

... Sleeping on the floor of a night ferry going across the irish sea; and then waking up in Ireland.

Tivoli. (pinch me).

This place is a dream. Over 400 fountains all over these gardens. Hydraulic organ, ridiculously gorgeous views... one of the best memories of Italy. We saw Villa Adriana, real ruins of the largest ancient Roman villas. I love it here.. it's so unreal.
