This is just a short note to add some of my thoughts on Italy, in addition to what Christina has written.
#1. Italian gelato, even the "fake tourist" stuff is amazing. American ice cream just doesn't cut it.
#2. American pizza is 10 times better than Italian pizza. I suppose this means Nic's Boston-Italian pizza is more Boston than Italy. That's a good thing.
#3. Il Colosseo is too impressive to explain in writing, with pictures, or even in video. It's one of those things that you have to experience for yourself. Actually stepping on the 2000 year old structure is awe-inspiring.
#4. The smoking in Europe is nauseating.
#5. Coke tastes better in the States. AND, it's much cheaper. $5 for a 20 oz is rediculous.
#6. We could not have gone without so much help from so many people. Thanks to all who helped and contributed to our trip in so many different ways.
ps #7. Jet lag is real, and its horrible!!!! Take my advice, if you ever travel a moderate distance, get sleeping pills and USE them!

Beautiful! Your posts brought back good memories and I agree with you on the gelato being better and pizza being worse, but gotta love their paninis! Glad you guys were able to go and have such a wonderful time!
