The Parthenon in Rome. We actually got to go inside this time!! Amazing that this building was built a couple of thousand years ago, and was only one of its kind until the 20th century!!! The largest free-standing dome in the world for 20 centuries. Pretty amazing. And it's still here.
A part of the ruins of the Roman Forum. We intended to get the audio guide of the ruins, but we couldn't find the store! So, because of that, I have no clue what this building was used for. If you know, feel free to tell us. :-)
This is a part of the ruins of the ancient Roman Forum from Palatine Hill. This area was once the Broadway of ancient Rome, however it was later used as a cow pasture!! Its amazing how much of it is still here after all these years.
We got a chance to challenge the church in Naples to a "friendly" game of soccer. It was the USA vs. Naples...the US didn't exactly come out on top, but it was a good game. Even I scored a few goals, so you know they were taking it easy on us!!
A typical street in downtown Naples. It was raining and the streets were still packed! Naples definately has a culture all its own.
We've been happily married since June of 2005. Aaron was born and raised in Searcy, Arkansas. Josie was born in Bronx, New York, but later moved to Daytona, Florida. We met at Harding University through a campaign to Italy in 2004. Josie graduated from Harding with a degree in early childhood education in December of 2006. Aaron is taking things a little slower...He plans to graduate in May of 2009 with a degree in Missions. We plan to do full-time mission work somewhere, just not quite sure where yet!
