European Vista Shots
Rome, Free Day Photos #1...
(Shots have all been shrunk to make them smaller to download... let me know if you want me to send out any fullsized originals)
As far as Rome goes, I have 130 photos from the first of two memory cards, of which about 100 actually worked... the ones below are probably the better of the 100 (except the first one!)
