A statue at Campidoglio, not sure what it is but Luke liked it.

Rome

Our flight into Rome was interesting, we flew on this tiny plane, well it wasnt even a plane it was actually a jet. Luke was joking at the airport that it was going to be our plane but it wasn't as funny for him when it ACTUALLY was our plane. It only seated about 45 people and was so small inside that Luke couldn't even stand all the way up! It was a nice flight though only about two hours and the flight attendants were very nice which is a change from most flights in the states.

Rome is great so far. The food at least! We haven't been exploring much yet, since our hotel is kind of away from everything. The hotel is nice, VERY modern, it is interesting. I will put up pictures when we get back home. I remembered the camera but forgot the cord to transfer pictures to the computer.

We have eaten a lot of Italian food so far. I have liked everything but unfotunately Luke isn't as easily satisfied. He thinks the pizza in Germany is better than Italy! Crazy! Tonight should be good, we are going out to a five course meal with some Italians from Luke's meetings, so they should know the good place.

We Made It

We have arrived in Rome. With no problems....will post more later. Going out to get some good italian food!

Welcome to our newest internet endeavor. It will be much easier to post pictures and updates on here rather than emailing them to everyone. Since email is unreliable and I am never able to send all of the pictures I want because it takes so long to download them. So now I will be able to put them all on here and do more frequent updates. Pretty much use it as a journal of our travels and our normally boring lives in Europe. Germans pretty much have mastered the simple easygoing rural life!

This week has been rather busy, we had our 2nd Anniversary and my birthday and trying to get ready for Rome. Plus, Luke just volunteered me for a softball game on Friday, he thought it was a nice thing to do (although if I play it means he doesn't have too). We celebrated our anniversary on Sunday, since Luke had work on Monday and I had school. We pretty much just went and had a GREAT dinner at this little Italian restaurant called Carpaccio.

Duke is getting huge as you can see from the picture. This was taken about a month ago in the fields by our house! He turned 6 months old September 10 and weighs about 60-65 pounds. He is pretty much you typical big, dumb, lovable Golden Retriever.

He loves the water! We finally found a pond to take him to and let him get filthy and muddy. He loves every second of it, it is a pain trying to get him out of the water.

Well I just wanted to get at least one blog done, to try it out and so that when i send out the link people would actually have something to see.
