Italy

We had a fabulous week long stay in Italy. We stayed with my friend Nancy and her son Jaron there. They were so great to us!!! We saw Venice, Verona, the Soave castle and Cinquee Terra. What a whirlwind trip!
Here is our entertainment while we are waiting for the train in Cinque Terra. We've found the railway there is a little late. A nice lady came over the intercom ever 15 minutes and told us our train would be delayed another 15 minutes. After our train was over an hour late we decided to take our business elsewhere
Beautiful Beach at Cinque Terra. If you look closely there is a huge sculpture in the rocks behind us on the right.
Kyle at St. Marco Basillica in VeniceElli in Venice. More lovely than any sculpture!
One of the highlights of our trip. An awesome castle in Soave. It was really old and really cool and really rainy. Wow! Inside they even had peices from dishes they found in the castle and original coats of arms and beds and tables and paintings. It was very neat.
We ended up getting stuck at a train station in the middle of nowhere for an hour in the dark. Luckily Elli's happy attitude was the glue that kept us together!

I'm so glad you came. Sorry it rained on you the whole time and I wasn't much fun. I REALLY hope you don't get sick. You guys don't realize how helpful you were just by keeping Jaron occupied while I layed half dead on the couch. I loved having you over and being able to catch up on life. Next time we'll come visit you!
