And 75 and sunny (if you believe CNN.com) sounds pretty nice to me right now; we're supposed to top off at 100 today (you know, that icky Minnesota heat!) My friend from work called me from Switzerland this morning! I googled the Charles Bridge and some of the castles; WOW!
Allianz Olympics-held in Paris July 20-22, 2006 1,500 men and women (ages 17-65) qualified from among 7, 500 applicants from 44 countries competing; all work for an Allianz group. Being held at the INSEP Natl Training Center in the middle of the Bois de Vincennes in the east of Paris (like I know where that is!) Not sure how many are coming from the MPLS office. I didn't try out!
"Happy to be in (insert New or Old) Prague, my favorite town!" This is all good experience for a touring musician. After a while Minnesota and the Czech Republic will look the same.
pictures Iwant pictures to varify all that misery. I am at Teresa's and sleep.
Allie broke her right leg and she is off it for 6 wks. Times for school then.
Have a good time, sleep when you get old.
Vatican You gotta bring back Skott (Mr. Catholic) something from the Vatican for me; they must have a pope on a rope or something...........I still think you need to spend 2 days on a beach somewhere!
chow that sounds...amazing:) i'm sure some of it was hell, but hey! you have an awesome story to tell. and what would an adventure be without a story to tell after?
What, no fan on the train? I think you should plan a couple of complete veg-out days! But I'm not getting out my violin for you and Jack any time soon! Sweet dreams...........
Contrary I would say I feel sorry for you for the sleeping situation but then I noticed the part about Vatican Galleries so I will be giving no such sympathy. Haha. (Miss you!)
Salve Have you watched any TV? Assuming Art's Tivoing The Colbert Report for you while you're away; that'll catch you up on the States news! Buon viaggio!
Ciao! You're really making me want to go on a European vacation (with you as a guide.) I have a friend from work going to Europe next week. If you guys really needed me to get you something I could!
Update Hey hun, hope you're well. I googled Cinque Terrah so obviously you're well, that looks unreal. That's great that you met some people to talk to, I'm sure there are very few in Italy, Italian being more Spanishy than Frenchy.
As for news, Bush was impeached, Alaska overthrew its governerer AND Rebecca was let out of the house. Pretty equally amazing if you ask me.
Oh, Joe is having the time of his life at mandolin camp and says hello. So does my mother. She says ciao actually, because she just had an Italian lesson and felt it was appropriate.
Anyways, nothing really interesting has gone on except for "monsoon" conditions in SD. A huge thunder/lighting storm a few nights ago. I'll go watch the Colberrr Reporrr and find out what's really going on so I can tell you next time.
Much love-
Rudy Maxa Is Following You Everytime you head to a new location Rudy Maxa has a show extolling its virtues. Last night he was exploring day trips from Rome. Some of the highlights: Emperor Hadrian's Villa, Sperlonga, Viterbo, Ostia Antica, and the Alban Hills.
Enjoy the bruschetta.
