For Mom and Dad: They wanted pictures of me

So, this statue looks older than it does. It's actually apart of
the capital building, which was built in 1885 to celebrate the
unification of Italy. There is a giant fountain to the right of it;
unfortunately, it's not visible in the picture but it's there and
it's grand! Instead of the fountain, you get me, making out
with the man's feet. Believe it or not, he's actually quite tickle-ish!

In picture two, I'm in Palentine Hill. This hill is massive. You could
spend a day just wandering around in it. There are pieces of ancient
ruins everywhere--many archways, baths, columns, etc. It's very
stoney. This site was were royalty/wealthy folks went to in order
to just indulge in great pleasures, host parties, and relax. There
also was a vineyard, too! I'm not sure what the building behind me
was used for but I'm sure it was for something spactacular...hopefully.
I bet I just jinxed it and it was actually a kitchen or where the
emperors kept there slaves. Nope nope, there was something
magnificent in it. I feel it.

Keep the pictures coming. By the way, it's Palatine Hill, not Palentine.

Looks like you two are going to start using that handy dandy little timer on your camera in order to have little nicky and little ellie in the pics -- otherwise we are going to have feuding mothers ;)
