Fall break videos!

These are videos from the trip I just went on for fall break. Athens, Santorini, Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Ireland. Pretty crazy.
This is a view from a hill in the middle of Athens. Athens is enormous, I had no idea. It looked like a city you would see in South America, like maybe Rio or something. There were 10 story apartments everywhere you could see, 360 degrees around. They went up the hills and everything. It was pretty sweet.

This is of St. Peter's square and the Vatican. It was huge.

Next is inside the Vatican in a room called the map room. There were so many paintings in it that they filled up the entire ceiling. And out the windows was the Vatican gardens where the Pope hangs from time to time.

This is inside St. Peter's Basilica, the largest church in the world. It was enormous. At the end is Michaelangelo's 2nd most famous statue.

Next is from a Roma soccer game. We sat in the Roma Hooligans section which was a fairly poor choice. Scary at times. Roma was playing poorly and the Italians were getting very angry with them. Luckily they tied the game so we made it out alive.

Francesco Totti fires in a free kick seen here. He helped beat the USA at the world cup. I have a great dislike for him. Everyone in the whole stadium loved him. Even though I think he's a whiney bitch (which he is), it was a cool free kick. Watch the flares light up.

This is me in front of the Colosseum.

Venice was definitely the best place we went. It was incredible. No cars because the streets were water! And this is the view from outside our window where we stayed. We got really lucky to stay in that place. I really want to go back to Venice, except it is the most expensive place I've ever been.
