our day trip to tivoli

VILLA D'ESTES
the summer home of a rich man who tried multiple times to be pope, but did not succeed, so he built himself an amazing estate to heal the pain of rejection of not being pope.
the house was nice, the gardens were better

when we got there, there was a forest fire at a nearby hill
there were airplanes and helicopters dropping water off

excited and pensive (?) looks

in front of one of the fountains


:)

alright enough group pictures already



the wind in our hair makes us look like models

melynn found a new friend!

the beautiful view from on top the hill
(who am i kidding. everything here is beautiful.
italy needs a new adjective, or i should invest in a thesaurus)


leaving the villa

oh. did i forget to mention?
WE SAW JULIA ROBERTS!
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! IN REAL LIFE!
there was an "eat, pray, love" premier next to our hotel
photocred: m.berry..and james's shoulders

ciao for now!
