We have been having a really good trip so far. Greece was really nice, and cheap too!! We stayed in a nice place with a private bath for €12 each. The weather was really nice and we did some hiking and looked at some really old ruins. We are now back in Italy, in Bologna, and the weather is not so nice. It is only 10 °c and wet. Oh well, I guess that is what we get for waiting until off tourist season to do our travelling. We are really looking forward to the end of the trip now. There are only two weeks left before we fly back to Calgary, and then it is another three weeks before I start classes again. I must be crazy, at least that is what Sherilyn thinks. I am glad that we have found the direction that God wants us to take, it is just hard to resign myself to another four years of study. It will be fun though. At least we got to see Europe while we were here. I think our next trip will be to some of the Greek islands, if we can ever afford to come back out here.

We loved Greece. We are back in Italy now, in Bologna, heading up to Venice to take our flight back to London. We are flying back to Calgary Nov 2nd. I start classes on the 1st of Dec. so it will be pretty hectic when we are home.

We are writing this from an email cafe in ROME!!! Pretty cool, eh? We spent the last day traveling on the train for about 14 hours, including stopping for lunch in Milan (McDonalds). We are having a really good trip, two nights ago we stayed in this tiny town in the Swiss alps and no one spoke any English. It is a good thing that I know a bit of French. We went to an Irish Pub for dinner, but all they were serving was this really stinky cheese fondue, really Irish !?! We were not all that impressed with the Netherlands, but I think we should have gone in the spring. We did enjoy Kinderdijk with all the windmills though. Rome is finally the place where we don't have to wear a sweatshirt, what a relief. We are heading off to Greece tomorrow on the ferry, should be fun. Oh, I almost forgot. We saw the Pope today. He was outside St Peter's Basillica and shaking hands, etc. We got a picture, though I think he will be pretty small in it. Anyway, I should be going, this is costing us money. Talk to y'all later.
