Rome, Italy-first day

 Everyone else was getting free water from the birdbath so we chose to do the same....saved 1.5-2.5 Euros per small bottle of water.  Fountains of this type were found in public places throughout Italy.

 The Florintine painter Michaelangelina

 A view of Firenze (Florence) fron the Duomo

Another view of Firenze. Our place of abode was down the dark roadway, right about the center of the photo.  Hotel Aldobrandini was interesting, weird, slightly spooky, probably the worst place we stayed in Italy.

 Florence Italy "The Duomo"  You can walk to the top of the Duomo and get a spectacular 360 degree of Florence from the top.  On the way up the corridors and stairs to the top you enter the dome area and can walk around the inside edge which gives you a closer view of the fresco.  The problem is the walkway is only one person wide!  I was trying to take some photos and holding up some American tourists who were not very patient.....I restrained myself from throwing him over the railing.....I hope we don't see each other in the firery inferno depicted on the dome!

What is your view of hell!

 Elder Curtis Sorensen and I chowing down

 You need to remember that this was prior to the church "raising the Bar".

Sometimes it was so cold that we all had to huddle together to warm up!

 This picture looks a bit staged....

 Messing around with the camera.....and this was not representative of the Trinity!

 These are sisters that were baptized in the Joyo shi area near Kyoto. It was always easier to make contact with the women who were at home during the day. They were usually more welcoming and teachable than their husbands.

 Elder Bradley, Hana Tsukiji, Lincoln

 Brother and Sister Narita...Baptized in the Uji city area.  They were around 76-78 at the time of their baptisms.

 Dove Creek, Colorado...On the way to Cortez from Monticello.  Grow alot of Pinto, anasazi beans, sunflowers, safflower, and who knows what! 

 Cindy, Lincoln, Joe, Becky in the Blue Mountains.  Becky grew up on the eastern flank of these mountains in Monticello, Utah.  I think she was raised by a cinnamon colored bear and a old uranium miner!

 The locals talk of the resididual effects of the Uranium boon just like the folks around south western Utah talk of the down wind effect of the nuclear bomb testing from Nevada.

 Fields of Gold

 Lincoln looking to be saved!

 Whoops, not today

I'm not sure if that is the correct Pledge!  Slightly altered to make a point of some sort!
