Off to the fashion capital

Me? Going to the fashion capital of the world, Milan (Italy)? It sounds a little crazy to me, too. But bright and early (rally time is 5:30 a.m., probably 11:30 p.m. your time!) tomorrow I am headed out to Italy. It's the country I've been dying to go see for quite some time. Friday afternoon and evening is Milan, with a tour that includes the Duomo (cathedral), "The Last Supper (Da Vinci's famous painting) and the operahouse. Saturday is Venice ("The City of Water"), which is supposed to be among the most beautiful cities in the world.

I'm still sitting on more pictures and experiences from Morocco. At the moment, the most notable tidbit is that the trip has left me with a two-week stomach virus. I'm hoping I can still enjoy the deliciousness that is Italian food, but I'm not worried.

Internet at home is on the fritz again, so I'm not sure when you'll hear from me next. Until then.

Josh - not fun to be sick in a foreign country - esp. when it's from another foreign country! Enjoy every second of Italy........Venice, my favorite City in the world so far...you'll see how the girls dress even when they are stepping on/off boats to commute to work.

Eat Pasta but eat quick cause there is nothing to see in a restaurant.

Just finished writing to mom that you had posted nothing recently because I knew you were sick and was praying that you are going to Italy. I have not been to Milan or Venice so you can take me next time.

Everyone is well, have a super time and anxious to see all your pictures.
