Devin and her sister Brenna headed off today to lay around on the beach in Capri. So I thought I would make use of the time to make some new friends. I met them waling through park Gianicolo. Posted by Erin.Devin in Devin & Erin in the Mediterranean | Jul 22, 2008

Florence was the perfect kickoff to our Mediterranean extravaganza. We met up there, after Erin flew into Rome and Devin flew into Milan, and hung out there for about three days before we headed on to Rome. After Posted by Erin.Devin in Devin & Erin in the Mediterranean | Jul 20, 2008

We arrived in Venice at 7.30am after a another long train ride, stored our luggage and eagerly stepped out of the station to get our first glimpse of Italy. The city was just starting to wake up as we saw Posted by jezems in Kicking the 'Can! | Jul 18, 2008

That's right, we are in Lucca. However still only 2 of us, not the 3 Ed & I had thought... All I'm going to say is that there was a communication breakdown - we thought Kevlar was coming out today Posted by dudewardel in Italy 08 | Jul 18, 2008

Rome is so incredibly beautiful and the people so warm and friendly that it's easy to relax and—and that's when you can get into trouble.
