Grandparents Amir and Norene Jairn, How wonderful hearing from you and reading about all the places you visited. Looking foreward to seeing you back here in the USA. Love Gramps

Karen Hi Jairn, Your seeing the marble mines reminded me of our family seeing the Kennicut copper mine in Utah about the time Brian was your age. It's an awesome production. I'm impressed that you had the energy to play soccer after all your hiking, not to forget taking in such masterpieces of art, building and sculpture along the way.  I expect we'll see some great walking muscles on them legs when you return. They'll make for better hops to the hoops. We had a suprise visit from Ziggie on Good Friday. She had no collar so we wondered if she was a stray, then later Johnny came by, introduced himself, and solved the mystery. Well, I'm off to dig up our septic tank, so Chaio. PS Say hi to your Mom, Dad and Cleo.    

Grandparents Amir and Norene Oh! Jairn...you got to see Gaudi!  Too bad about the caves...and a two hour wait for David...but that's travel for you.  There are always surprises.  Phew! We're exhausted just reading about your hicking adventures.  Keep up the great posting as we look forward to more!  Love to you and Mom, Dad and Cleo too! 

Summer Hey Jairn!!! It sounds like you're having a lot of fun. You should rent a vespa!!! Those things are awesome.Well... hope you're enjoying your trip. EAT PIZZAsummer

Sean Andersen Jairn-I enjoyed your journal entry and can't wait to read more! The last time I was in Rome I sat and watched a traffic circle for about an hour. The Italians are still the craziest drivers I have ever seen. I remember that red lights meant nothing and that the car horns were constantly blaring. The gellato was pretty tasty, also!Are there still thousands of stray cats around the Coliseum?Enjoy!Sean Andersen

HAHAHAHA!  Love you, Grama N.Jairn do not stop trying to upload those pictures. First download them from your camera to your computer then find cable,fiberoptics or DSL internet access to upload them on this site. If your image sizes are big use a picture editing program to make them small and low resolution before loading them.
