Italy, June 2012

Captain Kidd traveled to Italy and other parts of Europe over the summer. So far I only have the pictures of Captain Kidd in Italy, which are awesome! I cannot wait to see the other pictures! Here are the caption's my friend sent me with the photos.

at the dome in florence (it's very completion was an engineering feat not accomplished since the time of the romans, and is considered to have ignited the renaissance. it spans a greater distance than the largest roman dome; in fact it has the greatest span of any masonry dome in the world, still--even greater than st peter's)



pisa. 'nuff said. (Capt. Kidd leans like the Pisa)


st peter's square (and basilica), vatican city


inside st peter's. btw, that tall, free-standing brown thing is 100 feet tall and solid bronze. it stands over the tomb of saint peter the apostle. and the letters wrapped around the dome are 6 ft tall. that place is gigantic.
