Lol... Yup, tourists are a pain in the ass... I hate to see them around here. Then again, I love going somewhere as a tourist, so I guess it equals out.

Greece... I would LOVE to go there once. Nice mediteranean land, with so many sights... Where in Greece were you? Athens? Did you see the Acropolis?

The Cathedral in Florence was a wonderfull sight.      spapad wrote: You cant take pictures of ancient art work because the preservationists feel it will speed the fading of the pigments in the paint. I can see their point, but it doesn't help when your standing there looking at something so beautiful and not allowed to take home your own memory in a snapshot. Thank god, camera's have come a long way and can take decent low light pictures.      _strat_ wrote: They let you take pictures in a church?!?! Damit... The fascist in Italy wouldnt even let me take a camera into the Florence cathedral. But, I see that there is the ever-so typical rope barrier in front of the altar... Kinda like in front of nightclubs, eh? "Youre not cool enough to party with Jesus!"      Deep Freeze wrote: Here is a pic I took inside the basilica at the Mision de Asis. Rather dark but it was a cool place. Just happened to be Good Friday as well! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
