Jan and I, on a September Morning

This picture got sent to me so I was able to post it on my blog. Dont worry, more photos will come when I get home to Germany and all settled in.

This is one of the 2 mornings we spent outside for breakfast. It was still cold, but the sun was quite warm for us to be able to be outside. Look at this Canadian girl, no socks or sweats...and the German hunk, all bundled up to keep warm. What a wonderful picture. Our mornings were great. Lots of laughs making breakfast and lots of talks about everything.

Thanks Jan for a great time in Germany to start off my trip. I cant wait to learn more German to impress your mom. I know she is already impressed, but perhaps i can have a conversation with her in the near future about everything and anything.  Thanks for being my tour guide in your home town. Miss you lots.

Beer and Internet!!! IRONIC

I just had to add that we have gone to the same internet place twice in Florence and I had a beer with the internet. I hope I dont get a beer belly. Yikes. Why is is to hot!!! Its great! Im loving the heat. Germany is cold...but its also cold in the morning, but not for long. Im heading SOUTH!! Whoohoo.

Gladiator took my money!!!

A story in Rome to be told.
We are such tourist when a few actors pull you in for pictures. Thats what happened to us in Rome.
When we were siteseeing the Colosseum, we got pulled over to take pictures with these 2 gladiators. We laughed and walked off. Unfortuanlety, they followed us and made us laugh even more. We then gave in and took pictures with them. They made us to different actions right in front of the Colosseum. yes, it was fun, until they told us to pay the 10 Euros each. WHAT!!! What did we get ourselves into. Yes we had so much fun doing it, but didnt expect to pay 10 euros each. What a rip off. We thought it was by dontation. Well, we had fun as we gave the 10 euros and gave them each a kiss goodbye. They so wanted to come with us, but nope, we werent going back. Pictures will be posted, so watch out for them. You will get a kick out of this one. It better be worth 10 Euros.

Grouse Grind X 2

Alright you hikers out there. If you want to do an amazing hike, you got to go to Italy and do the Cinque Terre. Tanya and I didnt even do the whole thing. We did do the harest part which would be considered as doing the grouse grind twice. My calves are burning. We had to get up so early to catch the train. Whoohoo...no fines today. We better write in the date for tomorrow, today.
The little towns inbetween the hikes are amazing. Its so beautiful that it takes your breathe away. The view is amazing as well. Dont worry, pictures to come. Its expensive for internet time...remember.

Im cutting down the cost of food, but not for our next destinations. Tanya says Naples is the place for Pizza. Good pizza that is. Ive been having bread, cheese, salami for lunch and dinner. Breakfast, i do have some fruit. The day we went to the market to get figs were the best. Yum, i love figs, especially when they are fresh. Whoohooo.

Siena and Naples here we come.
