Our son was studying about Roman history when we went. He lead us through and I know he will never forget all the info after seeing it first hand.

One of those, "Pinch me, I am really here!" places.

My absolute favorite place in Rome. Breathtaking.

Been here in 1998 with sis, Glo. I think it is one of the most beautfiul gardens in the world. Ah, the floral prints were just amazing!

Interestingly enough they have a DNA research department here that is frequently contacted by the police for help with solving crimes. In a very famous case, Kew was able to discern what food a torso found in the Thames had consumed.

I was there in 1997. I'm wondering if the botanical prints by Shirley Sherwood collection (I believe) are still exhibited there?

For retirement, it Vancouver than off to Banff on the Canadian Railway.

Perfect place!

Beautiful place, indeed!
