Nice, Venice, and florence

Its been a while since I updated text, there is always just so much to do that I cant find enough hours in the day. Nice was very nice LOL but I never got to go on the water :-( we walked around and explored for a while then bought lunch and took it with us as we climbed up to le chateau. It was a hard long climb and we were all really happy to find some shade to eat in. Then we went back to the campsite and changed and ate dinner before heading out to the monte carlo. In Venice we took a walking tour and saw a lace and glass blowing demonstration damn can hand made lace be expensive. We wandered around for a bit then found some shade to sit in. They are very stingy with there shade in Venice because they kept making us move, finally found somewhere to sit. In florence we saw a leather demonstation then had a walking tour of all the art and landmarks but kris and I got lost and spent a few minutes looking for the group before deciding just to spend the
day together and headed down so prmising looking streets only to run into the group right when we stopped looking, finished tour, had lunch at cheap little cafe that was really nice, 6 euro for a pizza big enough for 3 people it was fun then shopping and exploring, found cute sunglasses. Then headed back the campsite for a nap, then back out for amazing 4 course meal and clubbing miss you guys, love ashley

Love you, Ashley!

Dear Ashley, Love the updates, and love the pictures. However you must feel like you are never alone. The eyes of everyone you know are watching you! Not exactly like Vegas! Thanks for bringing us along though. Have fun anyway. Love MomMom.

This sounds ideal. We are heading to St. Louis next week which is exactly like Venice. Well, minus the gondolas and waterways and all the history and Italian stuff and all the awesome food and weather and people speaking Italian...so that leaves us with they are both cities and that is enough for us all to feel like we are joining you on vacation next week. Although, we won't really be together we will miss you on the family vacation, but we can take solace in knowing we are in identical cities. Does Venice have a Zoo or a trailer park? If, so chalk up another similarity.

So, I am sure we will bump into around town when we join you in STL/Venice. (Let's cow tip the first night we meet!)

See you soon, M,E,B

FYI: On the 4th your father was musing out loud, wondering how the Italian boys look? Hot? (If so, that would be yet another similarity to STL).
