Part II coming soon(ish!)

Honeymoon in Italy 2006 – Part I

PS – if you were on the trip with us, email me so I can add your picture to the video!

Exhausted though; our tour guide was like a cowboy driving dogies, making sure we’re up in the morning, fed, and on the trail before sunrise. Which is perfect – we can sleep late and lounge around at home, we don’t need to do it in another country.

We saw scooters, Smart Cars, lots of churches (medievel,. baroque, and gothic), and old ruins. Plus enough olive trees to cover the state of Texas in a thin, oily film.

We took about 500 pictures and 100 video clips – I’m still working on the video, but here are the photos:

We’ve already spent two days in Rome, an afternoon in Assasi, and an evening in Perugia. Having a great time; we only made it three days without internet access though; tonight we broke down and paid 4 Euros ($5.25?) for internet access on the hotel TV. I had to look up “Anti-pope.”

Italy is about great food, old buildings, cars and pedestrians cheek-to-door on the road, and more saints than you can fit in a stadium.

No pictures yet; this hotel computer has no slot to connect the cameras. Ciao!

Highlights:

  • Weather was gorgeous!
  • Accidentally started the ceremony in the middle, and said “I Do” about 5 times each.
  • Ceremony interrupted by mating seagulls – “Mom, I don’t think those birds are fighting!”
  • Afterparty interrupted by full immersion baptism in the hotel pool (Marie: “A baptism? Yeah right, and I’m sure that guy’s blessing the water?”)

I only have two pictures up – the bride and I with my Aunt Margie, and the bride and I with her parents:

Sean and Noelle with her parents
More to come! PS – We leave for our honeymoon in Italy on the 25th.
