Photo Galleries - Tigger Goes to Italy

Tigger inspecting a Google Earth map of Rome before we leave on the trip.

Tigger in front of Big Blue, KLM's daily 747-400 combi (passenger/freighter) that we flew to Amsterdam.

Tigger at Amsterdam's Schipol International Airport.  You can see we're at the gate where we'll board our 10:50 am flight to Rome.

Tigger by the Rome departure gate at Amsterdam's Shipol airport.  Notice the Aer Lingus plane in the close background, and all of the KLM aircraft in the distance.  The 747 we flew on from Houston is right over the top of Tigger's head in the distance.

Made it!  Tigger checking out the view from the cupola at the villa.

Tigger in Greg's cubby hole.  Thanks goodness for the skylight there - it was hot the second week!

Tigger at Rome's Termini train station in front of the high speed train we rode from Rome to Florence.

The conductor told Tigger he needed a ticket to Florence.  Here he is scrambling to buy one so he doesn't miss the train to Florence.

Tigger just finished packing away a big breakfast at our hotel in Tavarnelle, south of Florence.  We stayed in Tavarnelle instead of Florence to get more local flair.

Tigger ready to have lunch at Zio Gigi's, a great restaurant not far from Piazza del Duomo in Florence.
