La Torre di Pisa, Italy

The Tower of Pisa was started by some guy (who hadn't had his V-8) in 1173 and they say it took about 200 years to finish it with all the legthly interuptions etc!!! Can you believe that? I was traveling with a crazy English guy named John - and we decided to do all sorts of "Pairs Figure Skating" poses... but I had to do this one too! Nothing like a crowd of japenese tourists wondering what the hell you're up to - and then taking photos of you instead of the tower!

Borghese Garden, Rome, Italy

The garden Casino Borghese was built on a rise above the Villa Borghese by the architect Vasanzio and was set up by Camillo Borghese to contain sculptures by Bernini including his statues of David and Daphne. It is the most picturesque beautiful place! Just the place for a headstand!

The Pyramids, Eygpt

I had always dreamed of going to Eygpt to see the pyramids… Giza's three pyramids (and the Sphinx) were constructed in the fourth dynasty of Egypt's Old Kingdom, arguably the first great civilization on earth. The Great Pyramid which used to be the tallest building in the world until early in this century -- was believed to have been built in just under 30 years! Imagine!!! Today, Giza is a suburb of rapidly growing Cairo, the largest city in Africa and the fifth largest in the world.
