Tivoli Day 1!



Tivoli is an amazing city! It is much like Oklahoma City b/c everyone knows everyone. We went to Villa D'Este yesterday. It is the most amazing garden I have ever seen and everything is run by the hydraulic system which is about a million and one years old. They even have an organ that is run by water power. It is incredible what the ancient Romans could do with water! Here's a picture of the gardens. I get to spend the day with an Italian Geologist, Francesco! Travertine here I come!!!!

Ciao!
