I was here for a few hours of a very long night....

Can't read the signs, or speak the language.....

A couple train mis-adventures were expected....

Actually rather got into it.....SORTA BIG FUN.....



Somewhere in Northern Italy.....


Train station.....

Tourist Maps do not have to be in English to be a very BIG HELP in whatever city your in.....


Pisa, Italy.....

I found this unusual bronze in a religious school courtyard......or something similiar.......that I found my way into....

All the old establishments are made defendable.....

One big door.......easy to defend and all.....
