Update...

Hey everybody, I just wanted to give everyone an update. I don't really get that many chances to go to the internet cafe so I haven't been able to really post on here. But this is my last week in Italy, Sunday we go to Rome for three nights and then its off to Athens for three more. After that we head to Paros where I will have internet access. So I will be able to post more pictures and descriptions of my adventures in Italy. So far we've visited Florence, Pisa, Prato, Venice, and we are going to Lucca this evening for a classical music concert. I've seen so much and learned so much in the little time that I've been here, most of you other Oregon kids haven't even started school yet (so unfair), and I can't wait for all the classical art in Rome and Athens. I've already taken over a thousand pictures and I have to sort through them all, yikes. Um... anywho, I hope everyone is well and enjoying Fall. I'll post again soon. Hugs and Kisses, Loves and Misses -Cori

The Villa

H Here are some images of the Villa that I am staying in. These are the backyard. There is a beautiful fountain, that accidently drained and almost killed the giant koi fish inside. Thre is also a chapel and barn on either end of the back wall. It is all so beautiful. Next post will be images of the town Pistoia, where we are staying. We went to Florence yesterday, but I left my camera at the Villa :( Sometime this week we are going to Pisa and next week we're going to Venice! More updates soon. Loves and kisses, Hugs and Misses.

German Airport

Hello All, I am sitting in the German airport waiting for my second flight to take me to Florence, it's been a little bit delayed. The Frankfurt airport is very confusing, it would probably be much better if I knew German but oh well. I just got off a 10 hour flight, which wasn't too bad. I had to switch seats so that a family could all sit together and I got a bag of goodies that only business and first class passengers get. We got two meals, dinner and breakfast, and each seat had an individual movie player so I watched Monsters vs. Aliens and Life in Ruins (Made me think of you Mom) and I slept through Tales of Desperaux. Anywho, all in all the flight wasn't too bad, went by fast. Hopefully the rest of the traveling goes well too. On to my next destination. Loves and Kisses, and Hugs and misses, Cori

P.S. I love that in Europe diet coke is called Coca-Cola light, it just roles off the tongue.
