Hi, From Rome

Allie and I are now in our second hotel in Rome. The first was crazy nice. After staying in two unsatisfying hotels, we needed something nice. So...we went to Priceline (which has been great to us for all of the trip) and found a great hotel. The great thing about Priceline is that when you book through them, they try to get you the nicest room possible for any given hotel. As a result, we were given one of the executive suites. To give you an idea, the room had a minibar, a dishwasher, modern decor, jacuzzi, etc.

Seeing the Colosseum is so surreal. You begin to speculate how many thousands of people have died inside those walls.

We'll go to see the Vatican on Monday - where Allie will have to read a few paragraphs describing how she must dress in order to enter. Men can wear whatever they want...women cannot. For some reason, this pleases me.

On our time off, I'm trying to get my Design site finished. I'm about 75% of the way there.

I haven't been able to post as much...so here are a few quick notes

• Space Mountain 2.0 Rocked


• Everyone picks their nose in public here


• Harry Potter 5 was amazing.


• Answers.Yahoo.Com has saved my butt many times lately


• Allie is becoming obsessed with Star Trek: Voyager. How adorable.


• We got to watch a loudmouth Oriental woman argue with one of the street vendors over the price of a purse. "It's not real" ...she said in a very oriental way. "Why you want charge that much?"


• It is way way hot in Rome


• I didn't love Milan that much


• More English speaking folk in Rome than anywhere else (besides London losers!).
