We made it safely to Italy two days ago and have been enjoying the beauty of Venice! We rode a whole day on the Vaparetto and saw the other islands such as San Giorgio and Dorsoduro. We took a Gondola ride from a man named Luca in his 50,000 euro mercedes gondola!! On our trip we saw Marco Polo's house, Casanova's house and the church used in Indiana Jones and the last Crusade (Abe was very excited). Today we explored the Basilica of San Marco and Doges Palace. Tomorrow morning we will take an inter-city train to Rome. We will spend 3 days there before we head to Pompeii. Jason and Jordanna have been wonderful unofficial guides. They have a really cool camera and speak a smattering of Italian. It's been fabulissimo to share this section of the trip with them!
We are learning so much I hope we don't forget it all!!
Surprisingly we've missed a lot of soccer...but we heard USA won!!!
Love,

Kabe,
It sounds like the trip has been jam packed with action since day one. Sorry to hear about the strikes. If it makes you feel any better we got to the Sisteen Chapel exactly as it was closing and couldn't get in. Talk about depressing. I hear that there is a secret tunnel into the Coleseum. Hope the strikes break and continue the amazing journey. The blog looks fantastic! Smiles from us.
