We are in Rome currently. I am doing some laundry (yeah...nearly 3 weeks is hard to pack for otherwise!) and this nifty place has laundry and internet at the same time. Ok..I will quickly fill you in on some details.

Venice..We spent three days in Venice. Picturesque and overpriced as always. When we arrived we were the tourists lugging our bags down the cobblestone streets of Venice and across 5 bridges (although...Lisa not as bad as the metro incident...I didnt feel like I was in a car accident the next day!) Yeah..poor Lisa and I going through the tube with our lugggage.We did San Marcos square, Murano..and walked around alot. We had dinner on this small island Lido that I usually stay on. I like to visit Lido because alot of people actually live there..so you can get less of a touristy feel. Unfortunaly Villa Laguna was under major construction..so we stayed at the Hotel Galleria. It was ok..good location..but it hurts how much it cost for things over here right now. Yes the dollar sucks majorly. I got lots of lovely pictures..however I have so many favorites from there that I am not sure if I have a new favorite.

Rome..We took the train to Rome and just finished our second day here. It was crowded at the Vatican area..as I figured and some of it even roped off due to Easter being just around the corner. We had an amazing dinner last night (thanks Catrionia) at this place close to the Spanish steps. I feel like we were official european travelers as we got lost in the streets on our way back to the hotel. Lots of rain we are getting..but we are dealing.

Thoughts on Italy..believe it or not after nearly a week I am getting tired of Italian food a bit. Haha. I can only handle so much pasta and pizza I suppose. I think we are eating McDonalds tonight (yes..gasp). Italian men are HOT..I had forgot that. Yes...nice sights indeed. I probably could fall in love with an Italian man..if only I could speak the language...sigh. Tomorrow we are finishing up random stuff around Rome and maybe doing some shopping. I need to at least look at the Italian purses..even if I cant afford one. And then Sunday..ie Easter..we head to Ireland. No drama this year..I promise. Besides driving on the wrong side of the road..but many of you know what I am referencing..oh well..no more Meg Ryan movies with a bad ending because technically the movie has already ended. Ok now I probably confusing some of yall with my code talk...so Chao..till I get to post again. (And I apologize for misspellings or randomness..I am not checking over it with the limited time!)
