Some of you may have figured that I’d fallen back in my old habits of posting about every three months, but I was just AWOL for 2 weeks with my wife in Italy. This time, I left the laptop and cell phone home and it was a very nice break from work and a great time with my wife.

It’s the first trip we’ve gone on a vacation since having kids without the kids. We spent our time there in Venice, Verona, the Dolomites (Italian Alps), Florence, and Pisa.

I’m back now (for 8 days anyway until I leave next Thursday to India, more on that later). Here’s a couple of pictures from Italy:

Overlooking Florence from atop the Duomo.

Showing my true colors with the Doba Flag in St. Mark’s square in Venice.

That tower over there is going to fall over. It really leans!

I’ll be posting next week before I head to India. I have an adventure buddies trip to report on and lots of Doba stuff to catch up on.
