Perugia was so restful, especially after our busy days in Roma. We slowly walked around and window shopped on Sunday. There was also a farmer's market in a piazza that we visited, but none of us were compelled to buy any homemade soap or bread or hammered jewelry. I sent out my first round of postcards today, so watch your mailboxes. :)
Today we took the train out of Perugia to the beautiful port city of Ancona. The sea is AMAZING! It's very breezy here, a welcome change to the humidity of Rome and the heat of Perugia. While waiting at the port, we met a man who lives on one of the islands of Croatia. He claims they are more beautiful than the Greek isles and recommended that we find sunscreen. We are actually still waiting at the port. We can't board our boat to Split until 7pm, and then we'll sail at 9pm. Until then we are using internet and getting some lunch.
Something we noticed in Perugia is that Italian dishes don't have much meat, and the three of us started craving steak. We caved this morning on the way out of town because McDonald's was right across the street from the train station. One large yummy McRoyal (a burger we don't have stateside) to go!! Hehe :)
Everyone in Italy has dogs. Not only do they have them, they bring them everywhere and often times not on a leash. I even saw a bichon yesterday. I miss Paisley and Kai more than anything. Hopefully one day I'll have the chance to bring them to Italy with me. I will be coming back.
We also haven't had any trouble getting attention from the boys in Italy... between Amanda's red hair and my blue eyes, there's always a guy willing to give us directions or translate for us. Don't worry, we're being very safe. I can't wait to get a Croatian suntan (you'll be jealous, B!) Oh, and I want everyone to know that Joshua was offered a position with Round Rock ISD on the spot at his interview, and he took it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for him.
Sooooo, I'll be home in two weeks... See you soon

McDonald's in Italy!!! I can't believe you did it...I talked to Philip and he won't stop talking about the islands of Croatia. He's circumnavigated the globe twice, and he says that the islands were the most beautiful place he has ever seen. I am excited to hear about them (and see pictures, too?).
Of course, I knew you would be spoiled for life; now, you will be spending a small fortune on travel. I guess as an intervention the best thing I could do is to go with you.
Keep flashing those blue eyes of yours. They are special over here, too.
Joshua
