AWOL in Italy

Jul 13 2007

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:

Doba Flag flying of Pisa

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.

    I’m definitely jealous. That sounds like fun trip. Did you get to do any hiking while you were over there or were inside the towns the entire time?

    We spent 3 days in the Dolomites and we did do some hiking up in the Alps. Amazingly beautiful. But it was hiking almost all days as much as you walk around those cities. ;)

    Wow. Those darn Italians! How dare they steal the look of the clock tower at the Venetian in Las Vegas!

    Seriously though, that looks like a ton of fun. One of these days I’ll get over there!
