October has been a great month! Not only is it my birthday month - thereby making it the BEST month - but this year, my parents and the Ryans visited. They were here for 2 weeks and we had a lot of fun. Its always exciting to have visitors...especially when they are as much fun as my parents and the Ryans! Their first weekend here we headed off to Elba, Pisa and Lucca. It was a three-day weekend for me (thank you Columbus Day) so I was able to enjoy this trip with them. The six of us had a great time and I promise I will write more about it later - once I get my pictures and video clips downloaded. For now, you can get the first half of the pictures from Bill's site. He's loaded and commented the photos for Elba (Lucca pictures will be coming soon). Here is the link: http://public.fotki.com/hurtwa/trip-to-elba/.
Our visitors also spent some time up in Umbria and Tuscany and from what I hear, they had a wonderful time. Their last several days were spent here in Rome...sightseeing and just being tourists. It was fun to come home from work and hear all about their day. I also enjoyed cooking for them and using all kinds of fancy dishes that I don't usually use!
All in all, it was wonderful to have them here. I hope they visit again soon...if not in Rome, then maybe in Panama! Oh, did I forget to mention that we're going to Panama next year?!?! Yup - we got the job we wanted and we are very excited...so start planning your vacations to the canal!
I promise I will post a few pictures and clips from Elba and Lucca soon. We rode scooters and bikes and all kinds of fun transportation. It really was a great trip! Also coming soon, my "30 Days of Food". I decided it would be fun to post a picture (at least) of the food we eat each night for a whole month. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that will be fun - but I'm the only one writing this blog, so I guess I win!! I hope someone will enjoy it with me.
Until then, have a great day and eat something yummy!
