Delayed posting...

Sorry for the delay and today's post will be short and lacking description because I only have 8 minutes on my internet and somebody is waiting to use the machine. We are now in Pisa and heading to Siena tonight. We have not had internet access the last few days. A lot has happened this last week and we have taken thousands of pictures that we will soon post. We are having a great time in Europe though some sadness has changed my trip a bit...my Grandma (last living grandparent) died this week and it has been a struggle to be away from my family. I have talked to them, but it is not the same as being there. I did get to talk to my grandma the day before I left and I know she always loved my blog so I will have to shape up in the next few days and get it updated to her standards...hahaha It goes to show that you should never leave things unsaid because we do not know when our time will end. My grandma lived a long full life and she loved to travel so I will keep traveling because she would want that--I know she would because she verbally told me not to come home if anything happened. gotta go!!!
