Hi All! So we're back home after a long day of flying yesterday. Our flights were uneventful and we arrived home safely. Our last couple of days on the trip were in Rome. We were unable to get photos uploaded where we were staying, so I decided to upload a handful of them now so you could get an idea of what we did. We really needed more time in Rome, as it is so spread out and we were unable to see all that we wanted to. However, we had a great time. We t...

Hey all, We arrived at our final destination late last night after about a 5 hour train ride from Venice. The owner of our bed & breakfast is really nice and welcomed us even at such a late hour. We got a good nights sleep and are now getting ready to go out and check out as much as we can today. Hoping to get to the Coloseum, Santa Maria Maggiore, the Trevi Fountain, and other sights on the eastern half of the city today. On tomorrows agenda is the wester...

We walked the streets of Venice the last few days, exploring the shops and th...

Como is a small town on Lake Como in Northern Italy. It is only about 45 minutes from Milan by train. It was a beautiful place, surrounded by mountains. We had a nice lunch by the water, w...

Our second day in Paris was a lot of fun! We took a tour of the city, where we saw the Louvre, the French institute: where the immortales preserve the French language. We learned a lot about French history and the different kings. We stood in front of the cafe where the French revolution began and we ate great sandwiches for lunch, on baguettes. We went back to the Eiffel Tour for a picture and then hurried to the train station for our overnight train ride to Mil...
