To the Alps...

I am currently at my friend Alero's place in Geneva, Switzerland! ... so good to be with a friend :) God has been so faithful and has been keeping me safe- especially in Rome, which I was the most nervous about. My travels in Italy have come to an end, at least for this time... hopefully I'll return in the future!

From Switzerland, I'll be going up to Amsterdam to see another friend, and then on to Germany...

I wasn't able to upload pics last time, so here are a few recaps:

The leaning tower of Pisa (I was actually attempting to do a jumping shot but the picture was taken right before my take off, so I happen to be leaning with the tower :)

Cinque Terre-

Manarola where I spent the night

Florence-
Ponte Vecchio

My ravioli cooking lesson up on the hillside of Rufina-nearby Florence! (one of my favorite things I've done so far!)

Before... using the fork or utensil to make the ribbed edges

After! (It was pretty tastey if I do say so myself ;P)

Siena- Piazza del Compo

Rome-

Colosseum

Threw my 1 euro over and made a made a wish at the Trevi Fountain ;)

"Mouth of Truth" in the portico of Santa Maria in the Piazza Bocca della Verita, famous from the Audrey Hepburn movie Roman Holiday

"The legend is that if you're given to lying, you put your hand in there and it will be bitten off."

... thankfully, I still have both of mine!

Venice- Gondolas and bridges galore!
Louise (girl I met at the hostel), me and Franco ... he gave us a good deal ;)

Rialto Bridge

Walking through the streets...and over the bridges

View from outside my window...

Geneva, Swizterland

Me and Alero in front of the Jet D'eau :)

About to eat some Le Marechal cheese and crackers!
