Day 2 [Rome]
Sorry I  have not written lately, but I did not have internet in Tuscany and I was to lazy to write yesterday. Today we went to the Forum and rented an audio guide. It was boiling this morning. After the Forum we ate and went to the Colosseum. There was a  sieres of passage ways that used to be covered by the floor and were used for many things during and before, and after the battles as well as drains that kept the field dry. Part of the floor remained, but much of the inside of the Colosseum has worn away.Below are the entries I did not get a chance to make because of internet problems.

Day 1 [Rome]
Today we drove to Rome. Our hotel room balcony over looks the Pantheon. We had lunch and galoto while waiting for it to stop raining. After lunch it was still pouring rain but we went to the Pantheon anyway. Jack kept getting water in his eye because he was looking up at the huge hole in the roof. After that we spent allot of time in the room. The internet is in the lounge, but it's in another building. Pretty annoying although it's pretty close and better than no internet at all so it's not to bad.

Day 4  [Tuscany]
Today it was pouring rain. Dad thought we should just drive until we find sun but Unfortunately we would have to leave Italy for that. So instead we drove to Siana because Mom wanted to go. First we checked out the Duomo and ate lunch. Then we waited in a very long line for an hour and a half to climb a tower that was 400 steps so we could find where we parked the car. Went we found the car we drove to San Gimignano to go to the torcher museum.

Day 3 [Tuscany]
Today we went to San Gimignano and I bought a bow and arrows and Jack got a crossbow. After that we went to a museum and climbed another tower. Than we waited for what felt like forever to go to the bath room. Later we had a cooking class and made a yummy three course meal of spaghetti, followed by meatballs and Terimasu for dessert. We also made some excellent bread.

Day 2 [Tuscany]
This morning breakfast was the terrible pastry our hotel had to offer. Then we went to Pisa and had lunch. We went to the Duomo and then climbed the leaning tower of Pisa. The tower's lean is just as noticeable from the inside as it is on the out and to be truthful I really did not like being on the top because I'm scarred of heights. We were going to swim at the beach but it stated to rain so we did not.

Day 1 [Tuscany]
Today we rented a car on the edge of Venice and drove to Tuscany. During the drive Dad kept turning sharply to hit Jack with the suitcase. We stopped to have lunch and got back on the road. We finally got to the small town that holds or hotel and walked around a bit. later we drove to San Gimignano for galoto.
