just a quick note to let you all know we are still alive and well!! we havent been able to get to any computer with mom and dad, but here we are their last night and i have to pay a lot to use this stupid thing! it has been lots of fun getting spoiled and seeing italy with the family. we got to see great sunsets in venice and on the lakes near the italian alps. looks like meeting up with kira is going to happen!! im soooooo excited!!! but im off to go try and plan where we will be heading tomorrow. mom and dad are leaving soo early in the morning, so we are going to stay in and sleep a little then be on our way to...somewhere. food has been really good. of course i couldnt go a blog without mentioning food! homemade pasta, gelato...mmmm...hopefully more details and possibly pictures to come soon!
