More practicing.... practice practice practice................ I don't know why but I love painting nuns. I took a bunch of photos for reference when I was in Italy of nuns and priests. I just think that it's so unusual know a days of people just giving up everything and devoting themselves to faith.. especially conservative faith.. when you don't have it give it all up for faith.. My feet and hands need work. :)...
Consumed: 1 Croissant, 1 café latte, 3 beers, 1 shot of sambuko (not my idea- the Italian waiter’s idea) 2 plates of pasta with Italian white sauce, 1 caprese salad, grilled chicken with French fries, 1 coca cola light, 1 fanta. 1 tiramisu - I know I need to be thinking about making sure I eat my vegetables. We saw the Parthenon today- were Raphael was buried. I think the most interesting thing about the Parthenon was the fact that when the Parthenon was built, there was no record of why it was built. I immediately thought secret society- maybe I’ve read too many Anne Rice or Twilight books. :) We walked and walked- our last day in Rome. Dropped coins in the Trevi Fountain and strolled the streets of old Rome. They say if you put a coin in the fountain- you will return to Rome. My only regret? Not eating more gelato. PS- if you are reading this on my facebook note- you have to go to my blog to watch the videos I have been posting. Just click here...
Consumed: 1 Café Latte, 1 pastry with chocolate in the middle, 1 coconut gel ato, 1 orange crème gelato, 1 glass of champagne, 1 pizza with buffalo mozzarella, - I think I am eating less in Italy. The Vatican was beautiful… a strange quiet power. I think the most interesting part about seeing the Vatican was seeing all of t he young nuns and priests. I can’t even imagine devoting yourself to something so early in life- its admirable but I had no clue about life when I was 20. In the Vatican Museum there are the old sections and the modern sections. It made me wonder how they rotated the collection and what’s exactly in the vault. The best thing about the museum was that at one point the Vatican decided to cover up the naked statues privates with little leaves. Did I mention Rome was Hot? I can see why people don't travel to Rome in the summer. The Vatican had these big fountains in the front and swear they looked like an Oasis. :) ...
