Long time no write. The blog is not really set up to pull pictures from numerous Picasa accounts so I'm just frustrated at this point and going to give a quick recap of where we have went until I get pull pics in again....

July- We went to Italy. Katie (my old roommate) was in the country with some friends for a wedding so what better time to meet up with her! Brian and I flew to Rome and saw all the sites, except the ones that were on strike i.e. Colosseum. Then Brian had to fly back and go to work :-( I headed with Katie, Aaron, and Paul to Cinque Terre, a beautiful place. We had some interesting moments, getting off trains too early, rental cars, German tourists, Italian waiters, sangria, etc. All in all we couldn't of asked for a better time, a beach day and a hiking day and an adventurous car ride to Lake Garda. We got to Lake Garda in time to see Jesse and Nicole before their rehearsal dinner. They were glowing and excited for the next days events. Lake Garda was a beautiful area but in an effort to to overstay my welcome I tried to leave before the wedding. Italy was trying to stop me but I dodged the strikes and took a cab and made my train and plane, safe and sound! While Italy is a beautiful country the best part was catching up with an old friend and meeting a couple new ones.
We also took a quick trip to Brussels. It was basically an eating/drinking extravaganza, Belgium beer and waffles mmmmmm sooo good. They also had the best coffee like drink ever (minus the coffee) it was at this fantastic gay coffee shop, if only I could remember the name of it.
August- We stayed in town and tried to avoid the European traffic jams. We did get caught in a couple of them, the longest on the way home from an exciting ropes course near the Swiss border. Who could forget the weindorf (winefest) in Stuttgart, fun was had by all, even if they can't remember it!
