We are tired! It was another HOT day – it was at least mid 90’s. Rome is amazing! We started off this morning walking to the Vatican. It’s huge! Next we went to the Coliseum. We can’t put into words how beautiful it was, nor do the pictures do it justice. We ate pizza for lunch and of course stopped for more Gelato. We did more shopping today. I think Mindy won the prize for buying the most today. She wanted a tank top for the bike tour tomorrow and ended up buying three along with a few other things like some really cool wine colored heals. Jennifer got a dress and sweater and Brandi bought a dress and of course some things at Sephora. The shopping was great! We took the 5:35 train into Florence (in the Tuscany region). Our bed and breakfast is so perfect-we love it already! The owner is a middle age guy who is the sweetest man ever. We ate dinner tonight at a restaurant around the corner called Accadi, of course Italian food. We are really looking forward to our bike tour tomorrow which is from 10am-5pm. Arrivederci!

Everything looks beautiful--just like I would imagine. All the pictures are so good--the one of you three at lunch in Rome, looks like we could reach out and touch you. Sounds like you are seeing many amazing sights and getting in some great shopping along the way! We'll be anxious to hear about Tuscany and the bike tour.
Talked to your mom through email Brandi--I think she is getting very excited for their trip!

There is something peculiar about that picture of the man with his manbag.

Rome definitely looks amazing - probably more amazing in person..... I hope you guys did a relay in the colliseum while you were there. ;) ha.

Manbag dude looked like he was carrying a special "package" for you girls in front ;-) Keep the "weird European" pictures coming.

Love the chandelier in your room! Finally - some accomodations worthy of your stature :)

Have to agree about manbag--I thought maybe only my eyes were seeing what I was seeing---and it wasn't just the slouchy bag! :)

I personally think the man with the man bag needed a codpiece to help with whatever was going on in front... At least it would have been more decorative!

Glad you guys are having such a great time!
