Since we don't have much time left, some quick little stories...

I've had something of a shoe crisis over here. Jen doesn't believe in taking a train anywhere, so I think my feet are slowly falling apart.
While we were on the train from Rome to Bologna, there's a conductor that comes around after every stop to check your ticket. From Rome to Florence, we had the same conductor, and she would check them, then move on. In Florence, we got a new conductor, and when he checked ours, he found out that we were actually sitting in first class, instead of second (we had no clue)...We had to move from a car with 6 seats, a door and quiet, to a huge "peasant class" car with about 50 people that smelled funny. Luckily it was only for about 10 minutes.
I hate the european keyboards. The y and z are backwards, and the ' and " are way out of the way. Takes up my precious internet time!
I lost my camera breifly at the vatican. Of all the places in the world to lose it though, that's probably the best. I had it back in 10 minutes.
I can't wait to show everyone my pictures! Photos don't even show how beautiful things are.
I can't believe it's the middle of the month already. One month till Norway! Jens still not sure if she's coming there, but I can't wait to see it and everyone there.
We hope to move to Porto on Wednesday night, so expect more news after that!
