Rincon Adventure

We made it back from Italy las week after a great trip to Venice, Cinque Terre, Siena, Gradoli (Family's hometown) and then Rome. We ate very very well and mixed in a bit of wine. For those traveling to Europe soon I can say that the exchange rate looks ok when you see it scrolling across the screen on CNBC but it really hits home when you exchange your US Dollars for Euro's! A bit painful but we did a good job travelling on trains and found a great rental car between Siena and Rome at a great rate. We will be posting a few of the pictures soon. All is well back in Rincon and my parents were very kind to take care of our dogs while we were on our trip. Other than a rough patch with Hopkins and a few escapes they said the dogs behaved well! Emily's sister and family are coming back to visit this weekend and we are very excited to host them back in Rincon. I have been working on re-entry to work and things are going well so far. As Emily said in the last post the weather is definitely warmng up a bit but I like it! No Air Conditioning -- just ceiling fans but they do work wonders. The morning runs at the track are a bit hotter so we will be going a bit earlier from now on. Other than that all is well. Emily will be posting on the trip and some other topics soon.
