ITALY 2012

Mark Hansen was turning 50 this year. He thought it would be nice to rent a villa in Tuscany for 8 days and invite 6 of his favorite couples to join he and Laura to help him celebrate! You don't have to ask me twice! We're in!! Tanya, Brian, Jeff and I arrived in Italy a few days early so we could visit Rome before heading north to Siena. We had a fabulous trip with many memories that we will always cherish. Thank you, Hansens!

P.S. Just a head's up for those of you on the trip with us. The photos from our Tuscany portion of our trip start on number 309. You are welcome to take a look at our Rome photos that start at the beginning, if you like, but the Tuscany portion of the trip alone has 745 photos. It's going to take you a while!

  • THE PANTHEON.  The Pantheon was constructed between and 27 and 25 AD as a temple to the Olympian gods. Pantheon literally means "of all the gods" in Greek. The original temple was destroyed by fire in 80 AD and was rebuilt with the columns and interior hall that you can see today. The dome spans 142 feet and was the largest in the world until the dome was completed on Florence's Cathedral in 1436. Even today, the Pantheon dome is the largest reinforced concrete dome in the world....pretty amazing considering it was built 2000 years ago.
