Italy

Bob & I have been on a 2 week tour of Italy and it was a good experience.  I missed having Charlie & Ellen and Marty & Donna with us but we felt it was important for us to make this journey nonetheless and we are glad that we did.   The weather was great, the schedule was hectic, and the people we met were fantastic.   Being cooped up in a plane for 9 hours was the pits but as of yet they have not invented a magical travel machine. 
I have a lot of tales and a lot of photos (1100!) and I hope to share some of them with you but tonight is just my re-entry into my blog after such a long hiatus.   My energy was depleted and my heart was broken and needed to heal a little before I could speak again.

Love, Mary
