Italy

Hi all, I want to say thank you for a fabulous trip. I have never had such an incredible expereince. This is my second try at getting this blog done, I tried to put some picture up for you to see but somehow lost what I had written. If it works this time I will put up a picture of the view from out B&B in Ravello and some of the other sights. Now I have it!!The cooking and wine tasting tour was a fabulous way to end the trip. It was soo much fun and I know how to make fresh pasta so once I get a pasta machine I will make you some.

One of the most interesting things I saw was the vehicles, how they drive and the roads. Actually it was not scarry at all. The roads are very narrow and windy but the drivers seem very competant and patient.

This is one of the turns that the bus went around and the cars had to stop and wait so they could get past.

Next stop Rome. The coloseum was only a few blocks away. We walked around it -Twice!!

There is so much tosee in Rome. We did go through the Vatican museum and saw the Sistine chapel. It was incredible.

We also stood inthe pouring rain and heard the Easter mass with the pope and heard him speak. We could see him quite a ways away but were close to one of the viewers. Got soaking wet but it was an incredible experience to be there.

This is the kitchen and out dinner after the pasta making lesson. The lady is Chrisiana and she made this for us then cooked our pasta and had desert for us too. This was a great was to end the trip. Thank you all so much. i took 400 photos so will get working on getting as many as I can on CDs for you.
