Buon Giorno

We are in Italy making our way through tiny streets and beautiful ancient cathedrals and piazzas. It is truly a remarkable experience! We have been to Rome, Pisa and Florence. Today we are making our way to Venice.
We appreciate the driving in the US now! If you think Americans are aggressive drivers, you havent seen anything until you visit Rome! The road signs and lights are just for decoration according to the guide we had in Rome. And wow, how interesting it is to navigate the train system|
What an amazing experiences to walk some of the same roads that Paul walked. It was from here (Rome) that Christianity spread around the world. We recently read about how so many of the cathedrals are built on top of pagen temples. It is said that the Italians are somewhat the same, religious on top and pagen underneath. Its clear to see why Paul wanted to come here first.
Thank you for your prayers and gifts as we continue our journey.
Our next message will come when we have access to the internet again. (Todays entry is from an internet cafe in Figlini Valderno, Tuscany). We miss everyone! Ciao!
