Hello Everyone!
No reservations, no itinerary, no idea what we were going to do, and we only had one week to get in as much Italy as possible. We definitely were going to stay in Florence, Rome, and Venice, but also wanted to check out Pisa and Pompeii. Since we were going to be arriving in the area late we decided the first night would be in Pisa and from there we would head to Rome. We caught a direct train from Monte Carlo and were on our way, but we almost didn’t make it!
One stop after the Italian border, the train stopped and the guy in our compartment got off and we looked out the window and didn’t see anyone getting on. We thought it was strange, but according to the schedule this was a direct train. Well, eventually a janitor on the train came by and asked where we were going, we said Pisa, and he said that they changed trains and it was leaving from a different track. We grabbed our bags and ran towards the other track and the train was getting ready to leave. I threw the bags on, but then the doors

Hi guys,
I am glad to hear that you survived Italy. It was fun to see your pics. We have some fun memories from Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, and Pompeii. Jason got pooped on in San Marco's Square and Florence was one of our favorite places of all time. If we ever do venture back to Italy it will be to Florence and maybe a bit of Rome. It's always fun to read your blog! TTYL
Hello Ben and Heather!
It sounds like you guys are having a blast still. You took some great pictures in Italy. Can't wait to see what kind of trouble you'll both get into once in Germany!

Guys, how fun is this?! (Except, Heather, I am sorry to see your feet have finally met their match...) Keep on keepin' on, you two, but watch out for those pigeons.
I've been living in Italy for the last little while and lately i've been reading random travelblogs, some of which include yours. I had no idea you were coming to Italy (not that i'm one of those stalkers that would search you out) but had I ran into you it would have been funny. As I read it I realized it was past tense, so you'd obviously came and went however looking down the pictures shows you met my boss and co worker Tad and Chris. We work together for Romeing tours. What are the odds. Good luck on your travels.
Heather and Ben,
We have been keeping up with your travel blog and just read the post about Italy! Wasn't that fun??? You brought back all the memories for us. We had such a great time there and you are a part of our best memories. Can't wait to see the next update to the blog to see what else you have been up to. We are looking forward to a visit when you are in California. By the way, you are a great photographer and Heather looks like a model!! Keep in touch. Love, The Haagensons
Lovely Pictures Ben & Heather....gave me good tips for my forthcoming trip to Rome. Ben you remind me of Phil Collins.

Michelangelo’s PietáIt is this sculpture that is behind the bulletproof glass because of some crazy person with an ax
The Haagenson FamilyWe first met on the train to Rome, but ended up crossing paths numerous times. It was great to meet you three!
The streets of PompeiiYou can tell this was a two way street by the grooves in the road and the three stones their wheels would go between
