This is Kit. Sleeping on the plane.
We found a Very Nice Italian Restaurant...
With a LOT of food...
Like, a LOT, a lot.
Kit is perplexed by all of our appetizers...
There seems to be quite a lot of food here that we aren't sure if we ordered...
What? More???
Pizza tooooo???
Oh wow, they brought us pasta too...
Back in our hostel! =D
OMG! Palm Trees!!!
A Kit-sized door

Another juxtaposition of "new" and "old" (Kit and I found these highly entertaining)
Me and Kit, about halfway through our tour of the Vatican Museum
There's an art museum in there, apparently!

From here you can see Kit, the lower level (where they kept the lions and stuff!) the ground level, and the upper level. =)
See the cross near the right? Yeah, just above that is where the Emperor would sit. =) Sadly, that part has collapsed...
Kit, squishing something... a temple, I think...

Pretty!
This is Kit...
She wanted an orange...
Imitating a headless guy (we don't know who he is...)
Oooh, big archy thingies!!! I wonder what they are!!!
I couldn't reach an orange for her...
But she really wanted one!
So she decided to take a branch home.
And this is proof that she is turning into her mother.
"This would be so much easier if you just did this for me!"
Hang on a second...
Grab and twist...
...and twist...
Voilá! You too can get your own orange tree branch... =P
Oh, hello there, colosseum =)
I love this picture. Mostly because of the little old man behind Kit =)

Kit tried taking a picture of our "grumpy" waiter
...she wasn't too good with the "long exposure" setting...
She's trying again with her own camera... we'll see how this works out ;)
The "happy" waiter brought us Limoncello after desert! =)
