technical sidebar to the trip. if you have a CF card > 8 gig and a canon rebel xt, you CANNOT FORMAT THE CARD WITH THE CAMERA!!!!

it’s happy to use a 16 gig card. but it can only create a filesystem of 8gb or less.

if you format your 16 gig card in camera, you’ll lose 1/2 the storage!

it took a bit of googling, but i found this:

i just did that (which was really my main motivator to want to get online so badly!) and now have my other 8 gigs back and usable.

shooting in raw mode that is almost 1000 pictures. seeing as i shot 860 in rome on the first day that actually matters ;)

So as Facebook users saw, iPhoto saw fit to upload a new Fett pic while I was playing with Italy photos.

Here are the first few I’ve put up:

It’s 10pm here, and Perugia isn’t exactly a hopping night spot. So we’re in the hotel catching up on the Real World a bit.

We have made it through Rome, and are now at our first relaxed evening where it was worth the 10 euros for internet access.

We’re in Perugia right now in a fantastic hotel… fancier I think than anywhere I’ve stayed before.

Hrm, what have we been up to? Sistine Chapel, Coleseum, St. Francis @ Assisi, food, food, food. Walking till our feet fall off.

I’ve taken many pictures so far. I’ll upload a few soon, but the next connection here isn’t so fast…

Tomorrow we head to Florence!
