We did it!





Got married, that is:

 

The bike we're riding is super decked-out with wedding decorations, by the way. It was our favorite part of the wedding, mostly because it was so random and unexpected. The bridesmaids and groomsmen surprised us with our "getaway bike."  (Thanks to Wendy M for the photo.)

The ceremony was awesome, even though (or maybe because) it was really really short. Then the games, toasts, dinner and cake and dancing. Really really fun, and no one fell in the pond! Thanks for everyone who came ... lots of family from the East Coast made the trek. And a big thank-you to John and Maggie and Anne Vallerga, who took the reins and made everything possible. Family and friends chipped in all over the place, and helped make it a spectacular, memorable event.

Now we're back in Rome, where it's very hot. Next adventure: Honeymoon in the Canary Islands!

Signing off till August!

Next week we fly home for the wedding! We won't be posting for a month or so but will resume when we're back in Rome in August. 

Right now Jack is visiting us. We've been having fun showing him around the city. We have spent a lot of time at our favorite cafes drinking cappuccinos and eating cornettos. 

Signing off until August! Ciao Tutti! 

Here's a photo from the hike Jack and I did yesterday while Andy was studying. We came across some old ruins along the way.
