Pronto!
Picture #1 is of the Italian Alps taken from 30,000 feet. I would've gotten a better picture but I couldn't get the window open to lean out(get it Barry? "I couldn't get the window open" HA.......).
Pictures #2 & #3 are of the Colloseum.
And picture #4 is of Saint Peters Basilica at the Vatican. The beams of Sun light shine through the Dome windows representing the light of the World and actually comes from outerspace.
And picture #5 is of Trevi Fountain which is still fed from part of the ancient Roman aguaduct that is still used in many parts of the city.
All in all a good trip, but Romans take no pride in their city and it basically is a polluted sespool. Graffitti everywhere and they don't believe in using trash cans. The litter makes it look like you could eat off a New York City street.
Chow!

Rick,
I have that same photo of the Alps taken while fly over the alps in WWII the big one. I was a paratrooper on a secret mission, so secret that I was assigned before I was born. We flew at 30,000 feet in an open cock pit Corsair with no Oxygen. Talk about having to hold your breath.
I can't give you all the detail as of today it is still classified, so I would have to shoot yo with a .308 caliber bullet made of ice. This is so NCIS could not do a ballistics trace back to the gun I would have to use.
So please don't ask any more details than I have given you. I will say this General Dwight D. Eisenhower was very proud when he presented me the Congressional medal of Honor. I would show it to you but it was cast in ice and melted the following year while on a mission in with Romel in an African campaign. But that is another story.
Signing off 10-4,
Secret Agent Jimbo
