They're carved into a landscape that's breathtakingly picturesque. And structures have been there for hundreds of years. That's very impressive. I enjoyed the blog about Italy. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and providing the images.<br /><br />Maggie<br />http://mudpiesandmagnolias.blogspot.comMaggie Toussainthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011893139722870283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27660174.post-86350269545807388532011-11-06T17:32:10.462-05:002011-11-06T17:32:10.462-05:00Shawn thank you for sharing your pictures and tell...Shawn thank you for sharing your pictures and telling us how visiting the cities made you feel. I was in Venice in 1997 and I was struck by it's romantic ambience as well. <br /><br />Good luck with book sales - and keep traveling. It's the stuff of inspiration. When I write a contemporary romance, I usually try to use an "international" angle which stems from my travels. <br />Stephanie Burkhart https://www.blogger.com/profile/16952130018587727063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27660174.post-53047544670498177182011-11-05T09:52:22.464-05:002011-11-05T09:52:22.464-05:00Celia, I can't imagine, either, why people wou...Celia, I can't imagine, either, why people wouldn't want to travel and sight see. So much beauty in so many places.<br /><br />Karen, I loved Florence as well, particularly due to seeing the David statue. Incredible to see in real life. But then, I'm a huge Michelangelo fan. ;-)<br /><br />Mona, I look forward to your travel blog later this month!LK Hunsakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706929624587891992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27660174.post-7023212849551743522011-11-04T18:53:15.393-05:002011-11-04T18:53:15.393-05:00Hi Shawn, I love your pictures.

It's been over twenty some years since I was in Italy, but seeing these pictures brought back fond memories. <br /><br />I also thought the tower would be bigger. lol I'm glad I saw it, but it wasn't the highlight of my tour. Though we traveled to Rome, Venice, Siene, and more. Florence remains my favorite. I loved Medieval and Renaissance flare of the city-Karen Michelle Nutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083893569523248900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27660174.post-18956118578253932952011-11-04T15:37:07.065-05:002011-11-04T15:37:07.065-05:00SHAWN--what lovely photos nad narrative about the ...SHAWN--what lovely photos nad narrative about the places you visited and fell in love with. We've been to all those in the South, plus Pisa and Venice, and found Italy to be a fascinating country. To have the time to roam and explore on your own is the best part of traveling. We were with tour groups, the only way I would visit Europe, for I was fearful of the time and effort it would take toAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27660174.post-58849324927845799882011-11-04T13:41:24.822-05:002011-11-04T13:41:24.822-05:00Yeah, definitely not!

It's beautiful and interesting to see the tower lean, but I wouldn't recommend it as a top Italy spot.
