Happy Mother's Day!
Had a rough day of travel a few days back. We left Perugia thinking we would head toward Florence and have a quick day trip in Sienna. We spent most of the day traveling and only got to spend a couple hours in Sienna. The highlight was an amazing bus ride from Chiusi to Sienna through the heart of Tuscany. Sienna was beautiful; we hung out in the Piazza for quite a while. Think they were having some type of gay pride parade. Took the wrong bus to get back to the train station and ended up with a very long bus tour of Sienna and the surrounding area. Took a late train to Florence just in time for an amazing sunset. In Florence we mostly walked around and ate. Very busy city.
Found the best eating deal in Italy that we have seen so far. We ate gourmet grub two nights in a row. Hazen had rabbit for the first time. Very good. Hostel was very noisy as it felt like I-5 was right out our window. That's what we get for reserving in advance. Aub was also not fond of the very ripe sewer smell at the doorstep. The sunsets over the arno river were absolutely perfect. Couple of great evenings.
Saw the leaning tower of Pisa. Yep, it's still leaning. Headed up to Cinque terre for a much needed break. Had a rough time finding a room but managed to snag a beauty with a good view and private bath. This is our third day here and all we have done is sun bathe on the rocks, swim in the Ligurian, nap, eat Foccocia, and drink grapes. This place is heaven. We will be here two more nights to complete the tanning process. Don't want to look like aliens when we get to spain. Venice is next on the agenda. Probably three nights there and then headed to Switzerland. Internet is quite expensive here so will probably try to throw up some pics when we get to Venice. Hope all is well back home. Cheers

Thank you for the Mother's Day wishes. We spent the day taking Mallory to Seattle for her trip to Asia. Breakfast in a downtown cafe, REI shopping, then suit shopping for Dad. I got a new car for Mother's Day and I'm feeling pretty spoiled. A beautiful new Toyota Camry with all the googags. Sounds like you're having a great time and getting in a little R&R, what with swimming and tanning:) Miss you both and excited to hear of your adventures. Travis, Sarah, and Mason spent the weekend in Monteray enjoying the scenery and sun. Looking forward to seeing my sweet Granddaughter. Hear she is getting to be quite the charmer, with her smiles and giggles. School's almost over and I'm looking forward to some me time and getting outdoors with Dad. Love you guys, take care and keep on seeing it all. Love, MOM
