Hey you two-just caught up with all your activities and I'm glad you're taking time to rest! Busy, busy!! Drink it all in (figuratively-you're already doing a good job of that literally) and enjoy-by the way, it's hot as hell here too-and it's all smoky in the Mid-Atlantic area from 2 wildfires in northern N. Carolina so you can't even "beach it"! Looking forward to your next blog-Love Lulu

Glad you guys are having fun....love the "hip shot" stuff. I am sure the pictures are well worth it...I think if you can turn your flash off you can take as many pictures as you want...if not...hip shots work for all of us. Glad you are enjoying the wine...your Dad & I seem to have acquired a taste for it ourselves..ha-ha-ha
Daddy Badoyen
Wow kids you have done sooo much already the past 3 weeks. I was wondering when you were going to go off your plans...Sounds like tomorrow will be that day...Fun and sun at Italy beaches...Just don't gawk at people when you see them in the nude (smile) Love you kids,

It looks like you two are having the time of your lives!!! I bet you come back 20 pounds heavier eating all that pasta haha! You'll have to let Andy and me know as much about the Italian experience as possible and any tips you might have for us for when we go. Love all the pics. Take care and stay safe and of course have fun!
Tanto amore a vio sia!

Hey guys, is Italian Pizza better than New York? Did you get any good Parmesan?!
Are you planning to see the Forum and Pompeii? If you can both are great tours.
For the love of God, try some good Italian wines, Barolo, Amarone etc.Avoid the swill!...Just kidding. Hey pretty cool you are in Europe for Euro 2008. I am sure the countrys have shut down during the games. That must be very cool to see how passionate the fans are for their soccer (futbol). We are having fun reading the blog and the message boards!
Have a great time and look out for Brutus!
We miss and love you

Hey Guys, Great pics. I can't believe they charge you to go into a church. Times have changed. Sounds like you are all having the best of time. Do everything you can because it is a once in a lifetime experience, even if you go again. Do all everything you can fit in. I agree with the advice you are getting about going to the locals on the side streets. The food is better and cheaper. Love Gandmon Alice
