Goodbye Italy!

Italy has just been amazing.  Since we left Greece, we have been in Italy- Venice and Lake Como.

Venice was awesome- i have never seen a city like it.  It is crazy that the streets are made of water and people get around by boat.  We loved it so much.  We especially loved our trailer home we stayed in, shared with the very special married couple who smokes like they drink water.  Tina's eyes would water all night because she couldn't handle it.  It was very exciting, considering it was the first place we went after the hotels with my mom that had free breakfast, robes, and slippers.  It was so funny and we still laugh about it.  That is what makes backpacking in Europe.

We then headed north to Lake Como Italy, which is where George Clooney lives!  It is BEAUTIFUL.  It is a lake surrounded by mountains.  The first day we hiked all day and it was gorgeous.  The next day we took a site seeing boat to Bellagio, the cutest lake town I have ever seen, spent the day there, then took a bus home.  Today we just hung out by the lake most the day and spent time in the town. 

We ate pizza every night in italy, it is something I will miss for sure.  There is no pizza like they make it here!

We leave tomorrow for Lucern, Switzerland.  We are going to freeze our butts off, but we are so excited!! After that we are going to Paris, then heading to Nice and are probably going to stay on the coast and work our way down to Portugal through Spain.

Love and miss yall so much, and please let me know if you have any prayer requests, we have sooo much train time;)
