Trevi Fountain which is huge, probably four stories high with amazing marble sculptures, only about 2-3 hundred years old.
Nikkers and I standing in the smallest country in the world and in front of St Peters Basilica.
Some guy in a toga and a Land Rover, he must of been famous by all the cheering we heard!
Naughty, Naughty! A photo of Nikkers and I in the Sistine Chapel. The line up was non existent but it took 1.5hrs to walk through all the museums to get to the Chapel. An amazing room with incredible paintings that on the roof apparently depicts the bible in pictures. Photo were not permitted in there but after an hour and a half we earned it. Of all the photos we took inside, non of them really came out that well....Spooky!
Hanging out by the Colosseum. 
An amazing, massive building finished in 80AD that housed everything from Gladiator fights with each other and wild beasts to naval battles. It turned out that it was too small so they made smaller boats and a larger stadium somewhere else to amuse themselves by. Animals from the far reaches of the empire, such as bears and tigers were hauled up to the floor by mechanical lifts(immediately in front of me would have been the floor, the ruins in front were rooms and cages that housed the animals and gladiators beneath the floor, across was the stadium seating) to fight gladiators in the arena that was decorated to duplicate the animals natural environment. Apparently at the lunch break, criminals were thrown in naked to fight the animals. 
A cool shot at night!
Yes its true! After a nice picnic on a hill beside the Colosseum at dusk and a few bottles wine, i finally broke her down and she said yes!
Nikkers at the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was crappy all day but by the time we got to the top the skies had cleared.
On our last night in Europe and nearly three weeks away and a day of more museams and churches and the big hunk of steel behind us, it was time for a dinner and a beer!
