World Travelers








We had a great time in Italy. Thanks Layne and Jeannine. We flew into Munich, Germany. Tyson's buddy served his mission in Italy so he hooked us up with his Italian friend Gionathan. He drove us around in a rented van along with his girlfriend Melina. We were so grateful we had him on the trip. Anyway, back to the trip. We spend the morning in Dachau at the first Nazi internment camp. It was very interesting to see, but just a touch on the depressing side. Then, we went over to Salzburg, Austria. It was beautiful. I was excited to learn it was where the Sound of Music was filmed and the birthplace of Mozart. Then we drove through the Alps as we headed to Venice. We loved Venice. We stayed in an apartment there right in the heart of Venice. Then we headed off to our next destination. We went to Florence. We went and saw the David by Michaelangelo. After the rain in Florence we headed to the Amalfi coast. On our way we stopped by Pisa. We were all surprised by how much we liked Pisa. It was very cool. In the slide show you can see our cool pictures trying to push it back up, or in Layne and Jeannine's case pushing it over. The Amalfi coast was probably my favorite part of the trip, well it's hard to say. But, it is stunning. We stayed in a castle and I felt like a princess. We even went swimming in the Meditterreanen Sea After paradise we spent the rest of the time in Rome . We stayed right outside the Vatican. We even saw the Pope. I could go on and on. I'll just saw we had a great time and if anybody is going to Italy soon I would love to share more. Oh, I also love gelato.
Here is a slide show of our favorite pictures.

Sounds like the best trip. I'd like to know a little more about what made Pisa "so cool."
