I wonder what will be left behind. What will future generations think of our times? Of will humans be extinct by then?<BR/><BR/>italianissima - You got to spend two weeks on site? That's amazing. When I return I might pay for a tour but it would have to be a one-on-one or small group situation so we are not rushed and I can actually hear the guide. <BR/><BR/>j. doe - thanks. It was fun. <BR/><BR/>paolo - thank you. Loved the line "Are you not entertained!" from that movie. <BR/><BR/>jen - Ancient history lovers will lose their minds at this place. Seriously! <BR/><BR/>Italiana americana - grazie. The two are so different I can't really compare them. Villa d'Este takes only an hour or two to explore but Hadrian's Villa could take all morning. <BR/><BR/>glamah16 - that is right he does and he has a huge interest in architecture. I forgot the First Lady of France is a singer. It's too bad the arts are seen as elitist. I agree world affairs would be better if the leaders spent some time being creative instead of on war.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-2085511726506266802008-07-10T20:59:00.000+02:002008-07-10T20:59:00.000+02:00I wouldnt call him a leader,but Prince Charles pai...I wouldnt call him a leader,but Prince Charles paints.Winston Churchill painted as well.It would be agreat stress reliever if more did.

I was lucky enough to visit while a student taking an archeology course at St Joe's Univ in Philly. I was in high school at the time and taking the course for extra credit because there was a 2 week "on site" component to the course and I was dying to get to Italy that summer. Aaahhh good times! Thanks for sharing your pics!Italianissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346587826608639313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-72366396880242501422008-07-10T10:19:00.002+02:002008-07-10T10:19:00.002+02:00Oops, last photo, singular, but hey I love 'em all...Oops, last photo, singular, but hey I love 'em all anyway ;)Michelle | Bleeding Espressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-85371877289521003792008-07-10T10:19:00.001+02:002008-07-10T10:19:00.001+02:00Great photos, I love day trips like this.
