Italy and Paris

Hi! Welcome to our blog - this is a long time coming. I hope that Lenny and I can update at least every week. We are getting ready for a few days off of work. We plan on working on the house, training Grommit, and starting our Christmas shopping. I will be traveling for work a lot before heading to Michigan for Christmas, so we need to get a lot done!

We recently took a month off work (September) and spend an amazing time in the Carribean, France and Italy. Our first trip was a 7 day cruise in the Carribean with 8 of our friends - it was a blast. We went to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. After a week back, we headed to Europe. We started in Florence where Lenny attended an International Electric Propolsion Conference and I got to sight see. We revisited the bridge where we got engaged back in 2002 - Pointe Vecchio and got to know the city. We stayed there for six days and then headed to Manarola - a small city in Cinque Terre on the Mediterranean coast. It was beatiful. We hiked to four of the five cities in the area and had some of the best seafood and pasta we've ever had! After a weekend there, we got on a train and went through the Alps to Paris. Paris was fantastic - we tried to see everything. The Louvre was impressive and I can't even describe what it's like to stand under the Effiel Tower. We went up in it while it was raining and when we got to the top two beautiful rainbows were shining over Paris. Here's couple pictures from our adventures. Later gators!

Here we are in front of Pointe Vecchio.



This is Manarola in Cique Terre, Italy - we stayed here for three days.
