we're in ITALY!!!!



i know, the suspense must have been killing you!!! yeah.... it was pretty cold riding around the north sea, so after our little visit in poland we flew into rome! one of the most beautiful cities in the world!!! we spent two solid days in rome. i don't know if you are aware, but the obama's were in rome when we were! john and walked up to the panthoen to find it completely blocked off by police. michelle and the girls had just walked in along with all the other wives of the leaders apart of the G8 conference. everyone cheered when they came out. it's amazing how much europeans love and support obama. yesterday we biked out of the city and headed towards the coast. we are now going to ride through tuscany. things have been pretty great here except i've had a cold and my camera got run over by a car! hahah. it's okay though, he's still working!! it was just a little nick by a tire, close call though. so yeah... now we are heading through tuscany towards siena, florence, pisa, cinque terra, and then southern france. a little change of plans, i know... all i can say is "when is rome".

  1. I think Italy agrees with you, you look more like the Southern Californians that you are. 5 days in tuscany sounds wonderful, I'll be there with you in my mind.
    Enjoy! Love, Mom
