Happy New Year / Buon Anno!
I've been a bit slack in updating the blog only because on my trip to Rome, I took over 5000 photographs. When I published the blog, I published many photos as I was taking them. Now that I've had a chance to go through them all, I've published most of them to my Flickr page:

Taking so many photos...well, maybe was a bad idea since it has taken me so long to organize them. But now I'm back, and I'd like to share more of them and my experiences and perceptions with you.
In the coming year, I'll post more photos as I prepare for another summer in Italy! This year I plan to return to Rome (there were just so many things that I didn't get to see!) as well as return to Naples and Caserta, spend some more time in Sicily. This year I would like to go to Milan, Turin and also Genoa and see more of the north of Italy but will always return to Rome, which is, my favorite place in Italy.
Thank you for reading and visiting my blog. Please leave comments, suggestions and questions -- I enjoy hearing from all of you! Don't forget to visit my blog, Knowing Rome which is a blog about traveling to Rome, its history, art, culture, language and more.

Orvieto: Il Duomo
The Wikipedia article on Orvieto is pretty decent, too.

Rome: Arch of Titus
This is a good place to spend the day because there's just so much to see.
It's super touristy there so watch your wallets/purses when you're walking about.
Bring your own water (I've seen vendors charge 2 euro for a small bottle of water!).
Also lots of great photo opportunities.

Naples: Acrobatic Canine
Just when you think you've seen it all...
Naples: Car Theft
I guess you can't take any chances...
My friends asked me if I had such a device for my car back in the United States...I don't live in an area that probably would need it. And after seeing how complicated it was to attach the device to the steering wheel...such a contraption probably isn't for me. :)
Rome: Mallrats (or Going to the Mall in EUR)
This mall is located in EUR. My only gripe was that I found it hard to reach on foot, although once I reached the mall I saw that there was a pedestrian entrance, but when I was in the mall I couldn't find it for the life of me so I just exited the mall the same way that I came in.
So what do you think? It's a bit kitsch, too bright, and way too shiny with all the glitter and gold. I did like the food court because the chairs were plush and comfortable, and it was good place to relax and read while I waited for my friend to finish working. It was also really big.

Naples: Spanish Quarter
Naples: Piazza del Plebiscito
Notice how the church is reminiscent of the Pantheon?
I visited Naples on July 4th.

Naples: Gulf of Naples From My Balcony
Here's a view from the balcony of my room that looks out onto the Gulf of Naples. Pretty, huh?
