Rome, Italy October 2005

We sailed on a 12 night cruise that sailed in and out of Rome, Italy. We stayed in Rome one night prior to the cruise and 2 nights after the cruise. This is a fantastic city. We can't wait to go back some day in the future. Our cruise took us from Rome to Naples, Dubrovnik (Croatia), Messina (Sicily), Barcelona(Spain), Cannes (France), Liviorno (Florence) and back to Rome.

Just spent a few more hours perusing your fine work. You are "A Natural" with that fine camera of yours. For an old man, I have never had so much pleasure, (not since I was in the Royal Navy anyway.... Just brilliant Lisa, Saint Peter has reserved you a special spot in Heaven. It's just me again, Terry from Canada. Hope you don't mind but I "stole" a lot of them. Being a Historian this Italy, Greece, and Egypt is my first love.

Lisa, Just Spectacular !
Never seen such an array of beautiful photographs, and so many. Especially in the largest format. The Vatican pic's are breathtaking. Splendid work. Thanks Terry (Canada)
