Pastiche

I spent the last couple weeks in Italy. There was wine-tasting and day-tripping and grape-eating and lack-of-sleeping and lard-eating and euro-spending and garden-strolling and cocktail-sipping and gourmet-eating and oh-my-god-I'm-so-effing-exhausted-I-wanna-die-but-I-swear-I'm-not-complaining.

Rather than posting the usual random collection of photos featuring people you don't know and events you didn't get to take part in, I tried to recreate some of the beautiful scenery you missed by stitching together collections of photos I took of my favorite Italian places. Be sure to click on them for bigger, more engrossing versions:

Viterbo, Tuscany:


Sant' Antimo, Tuscany:


Sistine Chapel, Rome:


Assissi, Tuscany:


The Etruscan Terrace, Vatican:


See? It's just like you were there, isn't it? I still might post the usual random collection of photos featuring people you don't know and events you didn't get to take part in, but I gotta get rid of this headcold and jetlag first.

Dangit! This is how I was putting together my Xmas cards this year (Totally serious)! Now I have to come up with another idea. Bugger.
