Hello from Italy!

Been a while since I've updated this thing, so why not travel to Italy first to do so? Guess we were waiting for some really big event to happen before posting again. At some point I will catch up with everything from the last couple of months.

But for now, a quick recap of our trip so far! We're currently in Siena, which is about 2 or 3 hours north of Rome. We flew into Rome on the 9th, and spent our first couple of days there. Next we're on to Florence tomorrow.

Some quick thoughts/tidbits on the trip so far:

- Been taking plenty of photos, so we'll be sure to get pics posted up to this site as soon as we can.
- Keyboards over here are different - things like the apostraphe key are in different spots, which makes typing a challenge!
- Jamie is enjoying the fashion over here, we need a separate camera just so she can take pictures of some of the outfits we've seen. Next trip to Italy I guess.
- The history of everything is pretty amazing. Throw a rock in any direction and it's amazing to think that you'll probably hit a building or structure that's older than ANYTHING in the US.
- The Borghese Gallery in Rome is our new favorite art museum. New appreciation for sculpters, that's for sure. The Bellini sculptures there are incredible, and have us looking forward to seeing others like the statue of David in Florence.
- Food is as expected so far, excellent, which is balanced by the, um, inconsistent service. Last night we had a fantastic meal with some of the worst service - usually the two parallel each other I think!

Well, I'll be sure to write more later. Time for some more gelato!
