These few I took out the train window going from Rome to Florence. It was so beautiful. There is some window reflection junk happening, but I just didn't care. It was too pretty not to try to capture a few shots!
Uh... So I slept for like 12 hours. Well, no. I was awake for around 2 hours in the middle of the night, but was in bed for 12 hours.
