Horseface Killah e DJ Equine d'Italia

So you betta make room, when you hear the...

  

BOOM BOOM

Firenze
     I used to live here, but apparently it's been so long that I forgot the layout a bit and it was a little frustrating driving in. Especially since Italian streets are insane and the drivers are stupidly ludicrous. But they say traveling with your significant other will test just how good your relationship is. Add driving in a foreign country to that... and well... I don't want to jump ahead, but we're still together.

  

     Halley is a bit obsessed with the size of balls in statues. So when we saw the Statue of David here, it really struck her with awe. "Those are the size of my head!"

     This is my favorite statue. Ever.


  

     Created by Benvenutto Cellini, the statue depicts Perseus post-slayage of Medusa. It's so fuckin rads, it takes the articulation out of me. I photographed it a bit last time I was here, and I really like that angle, because the silhouette is so striking with a nice clear sky.




     We didn't really hit up too many museums together, because Halley's not really into them like me, and I've seen a lot of the stuff multiple times. BUT we did go into a temporary Gucci museum. It was honestly one of the coolest museums I've been in. It was small, but it was so well executed. I'm sort of a fan of fashion (as much as a hetero man can be without venturing into metro territory), and I really dug what they had to show.

  

     We made a day trip to Sienna for funsies. I remembered that it was an adorable town with some really great pizza. So what could be better? We took the Autostrat on the way there, but opted for the back roads on the way back. Holy crap, it was so beautiful and fun to drive.

     I catch a lot of crap for saying this, but some games like Gran Turismo and Forza really taught me how to drive. To a certain extent, of course. I mean, nothing really teaches you like actual practice, but there is something to be said for driving simulations. And they almost always have a course in the back roads of Tuscany or Provence or some other bright Euro townships and roads. So actually getting to drive on them in real life was extremely exhilarating and made me giggle.
