The Big Blog Post is Coming!

I know all of you have been waiting patiently for our "everything we did this summer" post, but that's going to take a little while longer. We start classes tomorrow, so here's some pictures of Italy to tide you over!


(A picture of one of the villages in Cinque Terre, Italy)


(Another one of the five villages)


(A picture of a third village!)


(This lady was talking to her cat in Vernazza, the last of the 4 villages on our hike)


(Thundering waves would hit these rocks. A lot like the Oregon Coast, but the water was more blue.)


(Just one of the reasons Cinque Terre was our favorite stop in Italy.)


(Foundation in stone. Matthew 7:25)


(Like I said before, thunderous waves)


(World Travelers!)


(Our gondola ride under the Ponte Rialto - Rialto Bridge in Venice.)

(The only bridge still standing in Florence after WWII is the Ponte Vecchio. It was built in the 1200's).


(This is the view from the Ponte Vecchio in Florence)


(Back to the Cinque Terre shots. This is the city we stayed in, Monterosso).


(The view the morning we went on our hike. See all the salt in the air?)

(Finally, this is the view from our airplane as we crossed over the Sahara. We were at 38,000 feet and you could see the Sahara's sand being kicked up into the atmosphere all the way to where we were in elevation.)
