All is good after the mud flood. The staff was great and everyone helped pitch in to get the hostel cleaned up. Mennagio was beautiful. We met so many great people. There was a group of bicyclists that were biking around Lake Como for a charity. And two sisters that were living in Prague for the summer traveling around. Their family is orignally from the Czech Republic. They live in Orlando now and their dad works for Disney. Totally my type of poeple. There aren't many places to go at night, so we all partied at the hostel. During the day we hung out on the beach and went kayaking. I definatley got a head start on my tan. We went down the beach at night after the hostel closed. Really pretty laying out under the starts. Kinda amazing.

Now we are just outside the Aviano Air Force base. Kayleen's friend's husband is stationed here and she's letting us stay here. So nice. She has one of the tallest dogs i've ever seen. Yesturday we went to Venice. It's so pretty and just like the pictures. We didn't want to pay for a Gondola ride, so we took the water taxi. Kinda the same thing. Kinda. Today we went to Verona. Home of Romeo and Juilet (Guilette). We got off at the wrong train station, but eventually found it. We went to Guilette's house and saw all the love notes people have written on her wall. Then your supposed to rub Guilett's right breast. Yes, of course I did. Matt didn't though. I guess he's on good behavior. Anyway your supposed to have good luck or a new lover. Not sure which. Our guide books said two different things. Either one works for me. Tomorrow Lorna comes home and she's having a cookout for the 4th of July. Can't wait.
