ahhh, Tivoli!

We are on our way back to Rome on a bus from Tivoli - and, by the way, Tivoli is gorgeous! We went to Villa d'Este and around the area of Villa Gregoriano. We were going to try to do Hadrian's Villa but we ran out of time (and now we are in an Italian traffic jam). Villa d'Este is the one with all the fountains (as seen in "The Lizzie McGuire Movie", if you're a fan) and it's beautiful. We took tons of pictures and it was a gorgeous day and the whole town of Tivoli is on part of a mountain and surrounded by other mountains... Plus they have an actual hydraulic organ that plays music every 2 hours, so I took a video of some of that.

Villa Gregoriana would have been quite the hike so we didn't end up doing that, but we did look out a bit over the waterfalls and get close to the ancient Temple of Vesta on the hillside. We also got to walk through a part of town that hasn't changed much since the Middle Ages so that was pretty cool.

I can't believe it is our last night! It's kind of sad but at the same time I am happy to get to see the beauty of Sardinia and relax on some beaches!

We had to wait out a bad situation where the water was turned off for our whole apartment building because "somebody" in the building didn't pay their water bill - thank God things aren't set up like that in the States.

More to come later... Here's to beautiful towns & gorgeous men!
