I've been blog-absent for the last month but with good reason! I spent most of June soaking in every last bit of the food, history, art, and beauty of Italy. Amazing is the only word to describe it. That said, I do have some fun posts started (and lots of words) about everything we saw and ate while there that I'll be rolling out once I get my hands on the hubs thousands of pictures.
For now... some Blackberry quality sneak peeks.
Our first dinner in Italy on a walking street in Venice, after 2 days of travel. I sat there repeating, "I can't believe I'm really here" over and over again. The beauty of Venice totally blew me away; it was love. I also loved all the wine and carbs...

| Jetlag isn't my best look, but I can't even explain how how purely happy I was this night to have finally arrived! |
One place I just knew we needed to make a stop while in Rome was La Botticella, the Steelers bar. Yes, an Italian bar plastered in Steelers paraphernalia. I suppose it defeats the "Europe experience" when you go where you know you'll be surrounded by people from your own hometown, but it was a blast. And, well, Jesus was wearing a Steelers helmet, and you can't argue with that!

| Hi, sorry we look like we've walked 10 miles in 95 degree weather... it's because we pretty much had. Thank you Roman heat wave! |
Anyone else have fun summer plans they've been enjoying?
Any upcoming travel plans? Let me live vicariously through you now that I've spent my travel budget for the next decade!
