We got to our hotel room in Rone after a 9 hour flight, and we were given about 30 minutes to rest before we headed off on a city tour. Rhonda didn't waste any time...
We toured many sites around the city, then we met at the Pantheon to head off to dinner. There was a neat band playing by the fountain...
By Florence we realized we hadn't posted as many videos as we intended, so we remedied that situation...sort of...
Oh, another amazing thing did happen at Florence - Rhonda got an impromptu haircut by a smashing Florentine...
So then she had to do the traditional thing and rub the boar's nose to ensure that we would return to Florence.
We did the tourist thing at Pisa...
But then redeemed ourselves by getting the angelic sounds of reverberation in the baptistry while someone was singing...
Then we saw the changing of the guard in Monaco at the palace. All pomp and circumstance!
I love it in Europe that people go out in the evening, whereas in America we tend to go home and stay in. These folks are all gathered in a piazza, doing a traditional Catalonian dance in Barcelona, Spain...
And, as a change, current music on the street - and a little old lady in blue dancing away.
I had to get this last clip from YouTube. I suppose I was too overwhelmed by this when I was there - this man playing this song in Park Guell designed by Gaudi was one of the most exquisite things I've ever experienced. It moved me to tears...

Kenna, I got chills listening to that song. Mesmerizing!!
OH,Rhonda! My favorite video is Rhonda saying "Why did you choose this moment?" Priceless! Oh, Rhonda.
Kenna,
What a wonderful montage of music, dance and the tourist life in Italia and Monaco! How wonderful was each little vignette! I hadn't seen this post and it was such a delight! And, yes, the piece at the last was so moving! I really felt like I was there with you two--better than just looking at photographs. This was so great!
