Oh how I have missed you guys! It’s been a wonderful break from the real world but I guess we all have to come back sometime. Our trip to Italy was fabulous – better than I imagined! We stayed in Rome and visited Florence and Pompeii. It was the type of vacation that tired you out with all the walking and sightseeing but I loved every second of the history and all the beautiful sights. Oh, and the food was wonderful and we also drank lots of wine! Highlights from the trip included a private tour of the Vatican/St Peter’s and the Colisseum. We were able to get in to see the Sistine chapel an hour before it opened to the public. It was us + our tour guide and one other couple in there and it was magnificent (almost indescribable). The Catholics sure had a lot of money and did it up right! We signed up for a group tour at the Colisseum but we were the only ones so it ended up being a private tour. That was a nice perk because we went off season. The weather was good…highs of 60 with a touch of rain. Another wonderful thing I noticed about Italy…there were no pregnant ladies. Not sure why – maybe I was having too much fun to notice or maybe the baby craze has not hit Europe yet. I didn’t think about IF at all during our trip! I will leave you with a few photos from the trip!!!

ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to hearing about your trip. Those are beautiful pics. What a nice way to spend a vacation before Christmas. My girlfriends and I made a plan to go to Italy a year ago, but they ended up becoming pregnant and canceled the plan. Nice to hear from you! Thank you for the comment on my blog.
