Oct 4

Farthings, Carters, & Malloys survived Rome with friendship intact. The apartment was wonderful and centrally located to all of the great sites. Neil did a great job of making sure we got to see the most important places. The food has been awesome. Jana & Ria pledge to recreate the wonderful pasta recipe from La Carbonara. Neil had the tripe. No one cares to recreate that.

Spending time with Andy & Jessica (Jesse & Jane's nephew and his girlfriend) in Rome was a special treat for us all. They really added to the experience. They will be missed.

Today is the first day with access to internet for me. Sorry no previous blog entries. Darn fancy phone doesn't work here except for phone calls. What's up with that?

Debbie - you and Mark are on your way back to Italy - mission accomplished!

In Palermo now. We need to adjust to a different kind of Italy. Trying to find the jewel in the rubble.

Will try to post some photos soon.

Hey Ria:
Wondering if you & Neil & friends are ok. Saw in the paper that Sicily had severe flooding and several people were killed. Let me know if you all are alright. Nothing new here. Working for Robin, as usual.
