I'm showing this post to my dad!
He'll get such a kick out of it and be happy you guys made it to the places he recommended. Really, I think out of all the places he's visited in the world, Barcelona was one his favourites, or maybe even all-time favourite. Thanks so much for the well-wishes to Scott and I too! We had a fantastic day, though thank god it's over now! We're going to have a major picture exchange when you guys are back in Canada, so CARVE me into your schedule before you leave me for Onterrible.

Wow!
Holy Grail and all eh? Well I want to thank you for staying at the Lenin Hostel first...the comrade would be proud. I just thought I would update you on why I have not writen in awhile, my dad had his heart surgery after 10 years of waiting. All went well and it was only day surgery so it didn't take too long once we finally got him in. I'll explain more later so I miss you guys and I bought some fun games for when you come back and I even got an expansion pack for killer bunnies!

Spain sounds a little more high-maintenance than the other places you've been so far. And thirteen hours waiting at train stations? Oh god, you'd get there faster walking! I hope the rest of your stay in Spain picks up a little. And Danielle, shame on you! Shouldn't you be fluent in Spanish by now with a mother from Mexico AND Maria/Charlene's expert teaching? (Especially Charlene!) I expected better from you... :p

You guys have been busy.
So how much do you hate the ever changing keyboards in Europe?! As soon as you get used to one country's keyboard you jump ship and have to get used to a new one. Happy Birthday Jan it sounds like you had a great day. Well I miss you guys and I am glad you were there for Bastille day that is so awesome!

Glad you're out of Italy
Really, it made my heart hurt to read about you guys in Italy when I want to be there sooooo much! Happy (belated!) Birthday Janimal! Sorry things didn't work out perfectly for your special day, but it sounds like you had a pretty nice time even without Andorra. Who could complain about Bordeaux though?

Mmmm... gelato....
Or is it actually gelati? Or are they different? I'm confused. I'm glad to hear Venice is actually nice. I talked to a travel agent that said it was horrible and smelly, but then again, she said Naples was great. I've gotten a couple postcards already - thanks guys! :D

Wow
You guys sure have been getting around and seeing a lot in a very short time, and eating a LOT of gelato! I can't wait to hear about Milano!!!! So extremely jelous, if you happen to find it can you please take a picture of the Prada shop for me?! I miss you terribly and it just isn't the same sitting outside with a bottle of wine without you two. I can't wait to hear about your next adventure!

Thanks for the Wikipedia tip you guys! Do you know that while you're touring medieval castles and drinking wine and eating mother-counrty pasta and lying on beaches, I'm sitting on my ass at work, bored out of my tree, trying to think of something I can look up on Wikipedia to keep my brain semi-busy until the clock strikes 5:00? And no Jan, I don't care if you got "beaned" in the head with a pop can by obnoxious teenagers - the point is that you're on a beach and I'm not. :( Oh, all right, I'll stop being such a whiner. And I am actually grateful for the Wikipedia tip. I need somewhere to start. Safe travels!

Cellini!
Oh you found him, so maybe all of his stories were true, but still probably not, I think if I lived in his times I would have cut off his head and bronzed it, maybe that is what they did!? Anyhoo I am glad to hear you found a quaint little medieval town among the dirty tourist traps. Rimini sounds promising. Miss you lots!!!!!

Hey Jackie
Yeah I thought of you with the spider thing, although not in that moment. I was too busy being terrified myself. It was huge and furry. But the next tent was good, so that was a plus - spider free! I hope that our stories are helpful for you and planning, although we are seeing Italy in a different way then you two will. I really loved Siena, and hated Naples. Rome was wicked and so was Pompeii! For Pompeii we stayed in an area called Portici, just outside of Naples, and I think that was a good choice because Naples was just dirty. :) Yeah the wine was pretty terrible...but it has lasted us two nights! We have brought it here to Rimini. It is fun to drink from...heavy at first though.... :)

*shudder*
I would have had a stroke. Seriously. I woke up with one TINY spider in my tent once when Scott and I were camping, and I screamed so loudly, birds flew out of the trees. Did you think of me Danielle? Okay, you've also inspired a new plan of mine. When Scott and I go to Italy and he's walking around being all high-and-mighty about wine, I'm going to go find that store with the 1 euro bottle, I'm going to take a picture of me holding it with the pricetag, and then I'm going to buy it and drink it. Sweet!

Damn conservatives
I thought women weren't allowed to wear pants at all within the Vatican City, or did they relax a little and knock it down to shorts?

Ihateyouguysforgoingtopompeiiwithoutme!!!
And Jan, I have to insists on correcting your spelling again (sorry). "Pompei" is the kind of modern town of Pompei or rather, the municipality (apparently they're called communi in Italy). "Pompeii" is the actual ancient city itself. For shame! Now really, if you're not going to take the time to learn these things properly, I'm going to have Danielle send you home and have me come in her place! Sigh... don't mind me. I knew I was going to have a jealous spaz when you wrote about Pompeii. It's kind of my dream... I hope you guys took lots of pictures!

I JUST bought Monty Python and the Holy Grail like 2 days ago!
I will now proceed to repeat some of their more oft-repeated quotes: "Run away, run away!" "Ni!" "You must bring me... a shrubbery!" "What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" "Then the oral sex!" God, I can't wait to watch that movie!
