Older and/or Wiser

Today is my birthday. Now you all know and can now send me an email and feel pretty good about yourselves because you are good at being a friend. Lucky for you I am 8 hours ahead, and I will consider all emails received up to 12 midnight Vancouver time ontime. Shaun Gaynor and my Mom get extra points this year because I have already recieved their emails, unless Shaun realized it was my birthday via facebook...only half points for that. Geoff also gets extra points for coming to Europe to hang out with me.

It has been a great day. I am older, probably not a whole lot wiser, but who cares? because I am in Rome walking through history and eating gelato with Geoff. Yesterday we ate gelato for lunch, and it was awesome. Today we visited the Colloseum, the Roman forum, Trevi fountain, the grocery store, an internet cafe, the Pantheon, and some Baroque style Catholic churches. It has been wonderful to get lost around thousand year old buildings then turn a corner to suddenly find ourselves in a beautiful piazza or in front of the Pantheon.

Lavonne

Geoff: This is Geoff and I am just conifrming much of what you have already been told, Lavonne is well, she is tanned, happy and a little sweaty but I am too, its 40 degrees celcius and Aircon is not as popular as one would hope. We are having fun, lots of walking and getting lost, enjoying pizza and ice cold Coca-Cola light. Have a good week and I promise to take good care of Lavonne.

Hey you two. Happy birthday L-vonne. In admitting you aren't getting any wiser I think in fact you have become wiser. So, there you go. Glad to hear things are going well. I am guessing you are going to the Vatican tomorrow. Say hi to the pope for me.

Geoff, Inggy is still talking about the lettuce and the place is remarkably clean. Have a great week and make sure you two get into some trouble.

PS: Enjoy the good gelato while you still can...I'm jealous..

Nevs, I am a terrible friend, happy belated birthday! I think this may be the first year I didn't contact you on the actual day of your birthday to wish you well! Hope you and Geoff are enjoying yourselves. Wish you were here and missing you!
