Italy is awesome!  Or so, my boys have proclaimed.  Seriously, what is not to appreciate about a country that has so much to offer a boy s sensibility especially from a Teen/Pre-teen boy perspective. bus tours from portland maine Please, allow me to explain:
The Pieta (The Pity) Statue by Michelangelo, Vatican City.  Yeah, yeah, this statue is beautiful, impressive, stunning, etc.  But, did you know it is encased in a plastic protector because in the 1970s, a mad geologist attacked the statue with a hammer. ? (say what??) Right, well, apparently, any way you slice it this story was clearly cool enough to spawn a steady laughter invoking exchange for the remainder of our trip such as the following:
Trevi Fountain, Rome.   Let s face it any opportunity to throw stuff legally bus tours from portland maine is well worth a long plane ride. But take note don t even waste coin after coin after coin trying to nail the Trevi seagulls, they are way, way too saavy to be caught by such an assault (and I suspect, have had to learn the hard way!).
But even better is collecting some ancient Colosseum dirt to bring home.  Just be warned apparently bus tours from portland maine a bag of dirt in ones backpack is cause for suspicion and, if you hazard the attempt to bring home said souvenir, you will be detained at every single security checkpoint bus tours from portland maine along the way.
Navona Piazza Street Performer, Rome.  Anytime, anyplace, anywhere you never know exactly when it is happening.  It won t be until viewing pictures at some later date you will realize you were, yet again, photo-bombed by a statue s bare butt (or other random, bare body parts) making for endless amounts of humor opportunities.  Ah well, you know, when in Rome
Venice, Italy.  What better attribute does a hotel have to offer than the ability of customers to be able stick their head out of their very own hotel window bus tours from portland maine and spit right into a not so clean canal of water that can t be hurt  by a few dribbles bus tours from portland maine of spit, anyway.  Pure genius, I say.
