Apparently I DO care

Picasa has in fact NOT beat me and I even care enough not throw all 600+ pictures at once. Here, I hope it works, is a link to just 248 that I think do the trip justice.

And if 248 pictures is still too many for you (and really, unless you were there, do you care?) here are a select few to perhaps inspire you to go to the country shaped like a boot yourself.

PS - Yes, there are a number of photos of marble statues. Males. Yes, I am aware. Yes, sometimes they are wrestling or cutting off each other's heads but sometimes, if you're lucky, they're just standing. Giggity.
