traveling in Europe

There's one annoying thing about traveling in Europe.

Scaffolding.

Every time I go to a city, almost inevitably at least one of the big sites is covered in scaffolding. I appreciate that they want to keep everything in good shape and need to restore old buildings...but man, it really ruins pictures. Take this picture of the Spanish steps in Rome, for example. I sure wish I could see the beautiful cathedral at the top! I'll put some more pictures up (or you can see a few on my facebook page) when I get back from my next business trip from Geneva. Phew...
