Boy oh boy, it’s been a few days, and I have been slacking on this blog. Oh well! I have been enjoying myself too much. 

Today was our last day in Italy; we are underway on the Thello overnight train to Paris, France as I type this.  Italy has been wonderful.  Since I last posted, we moved on to a lovely town in the Italian countryside called Cortona for two nights, and then moved to Venice for another two.

Cortona was great, probably the best food we’ve had on the trip.  It has a unique charm to it, full of medieval buildings and homes.  We ate our best meal in a restaurant that was built in the 1300‘s.  The town was made famous by the movie and book Under the Tuscan Sun, which is one of Sheena’s favorite movies

Venice was cool too.  I finally impressed Sheena with my ability to romance her!  However, towards the end of the Venice, we started to get a little bored.  We had about eight hours to kill after we checked out of our hotel, and really didn’t have much left we wanted to see, nor did we have any activity planned. 

Venice is also filled with all sorts of old buildings, churches, and of course canals; it is not quite as old as Cortona, however.  Most of the buildings there are around three to four hundred years old.  The food in Venice was just okay.
