Makin’ Momma Proud

I dedicate my completion of Assassin’s Creed II to our mom.

I now know tons about renaissance Florence and Venice.  Mom actually went to those cities, saw the landmarks, lived in Italy. She spent more than a month in Rome in the late 60’s studying in the Vatican.

Spoiler: I giggled my head off when I attacked the pope in the Sistine Chapel. She would have loved it!

I spent that whole game thinking about how much she would have liked it and wanting to ask her how accurate it was.

Miss ya ma!

Full disclosure.  I have been reading Rachael’s blog for several years. This in no way obliges me to like her book. The fact that her book was awesome obliges me to like it.
