In Rome, closer to home

posted on Monday, October 5th, 2007 under Travel |

We have had sporadic Internet or I would have written more. We spend a day in Lugano, Switzerland and apparently the Internet is outlawed as we could not find it anywhere. Lugano was pretty unspectacular, it was a phony Italy. Stuff just wasn’t legit there. We spent yesterday in Florence, Italy - the only objective was to see the Ponta Viccio (I know I am butchering the spelling) which is a bridge that has all these lovely jewerly and gold shops lining it and to get me a leather tote for work at one of the famous leather markets. Check! Check!

Then it was off to Rome today to see a couple things we missed on our honeymoon - the Pantheon and Spanish Steps. It was horribly hot and I left most of the warm weather clothes I packed in Amsterdam. And, I am about ready to come home, tired and ready to hit American soil, so today was nice but not great. We are going to get some dinner and pack to head back to Amsterdam on a flight tomorrow…

Til then!

PS - Dont forget to check our gallery of pictures! There’s tons there!!

If a picture is worth 1,000 words …

Take a look at our photos gallery on the homepage of this site - surely these pics (they will say the city or country and 2007) from many of our destinations from this trip are worth at least a million words?!?! We are currently spending the day in Bellagio, Italy — we are staying in Lugano, Switzerland but apparently Internet is not common there as we could not find a connection after several hours of trying … It is a gorgeous day!
