Last Day of Anniversary Pictures

Day 82

Boulder City, Nevada
Our 13th anniversary, we spent a week in Las Vegas. I took this picture on our way to Hoover Dam in Boulder City. We never made it to the dam because the traffic was bumper to bumper moving at 5 miles an hour. We really had a good time on our trip.

Venice

Day 81

Out on the Grand Canal with the Rialto Bridge in the background.

Beautiful Island

Day 80

Arriving on the Isle of Capri.

Valley of the Temples

Day 79

Agrigento, Sicily
I was trying to take the temple home with me. This is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Lemonade Anyone?

Day 78

That is a lemon my darling husband is holding in his hand. They were bigger than grapefruit. This was a fruit stand outside of Pompeii, Italy.
They make great lemoncello there. It's a liquer they make by soaking the lemon rinds in vodka or 98 proof alcohol.

Vatican City

Day 77

St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. To the far right of the picture, the rectangular roof line is the Sistine Chapel and where they send out the smoke to declare a new pope has been elected. The Vatican has it's own post office and the stamps are not good anywhere in Italy except in Vatican City since the Vatican is considered it's own country and not part of Italy at all. When I sent you the first post cards they had the Vatican Stamp and postmark.

Intrepid Adventurers

Day 76

This was the theater in the ruins of Pompeii. We had a copy of our local paper with us and it was very hot that day. Those wires coming off of us were to our headsets we were wearing so we would be able to hear our tour guide.
