Greetings from Venice! Having a great time in Italy. We"ve lucked out with the weather, it has been beautiful everyday. Not one drop of rain. Francesco and I went to Portofino for a day, and it was spectacular. We spent Easter weekend in Assisi, a few things happened but I"ll have to explain that another time. I met my friends here in Venice and I also met Holly. We"ve bummed around and had fun. Had a great dinner last night. Hi Monica! Tonight we"re all going to San Troviso. Its not as easy to use this keyboard. Well, there is much shopping to do. Arrivederci!!<BR><BR>Dawn

It's raining here in Rome

Hi Dawn! Glad you are having great weather and having a good time. Where did you go for dinner last night? Ai Cugnai?? Write again soon!

Buon Giorno,<BR><BR>Just checking in before we leave for Florence. MOnica, I have the name of the restuarant in my bag in the bag deposit. I,ll let you know later. We all ate dinner at San Travaso last night and it was very good. Another day of incredible weather. Francesco is meeting us in Florence, and tommorrow we,re on to Greve to drink some wine. Hope our luck with the weather holds up. I miss my Bronx Zoo back home big time. I should have mnade this post Greetings from ItaLY, but ......oh well. Ciao! Dawn

Hi Dawn. Glad you are having a great time. Keep us posted if you can. Hello to Francesco, too.

Hi Dawn! Glad you are continuing to have good weather. I'm sure the Bronx Zoo crew is doing well. Remind me to tell you a funny story about Lucy at Den's shop and her "accident." <BR><BR>33 more days till my trip to France!<BR><BR>See you when you return. Have a safe trip home.<BR><BR>Hi Sherry!

Hi Dawn,<BR>You don't know me, but you peaked my interest with your mention of the Bronx Zoo. I am booked to visit Italy (for the first time) the end of May for 13 glorious days. Our itinerary includes Rome, Florence and 6 days in Tuscany. But before I go, I have to make my yearly spring trip to the Zoo. I'm originally from the Bronx, now live north of the City, but am a member of Wildlife Fund and get down there a few times a year. Hope the rest of your trip is as good as the beginning sounded. <BR><BR>Lois

Hi Monica. Started counting too with inspiration from you....21 more days until Italy!!!

Hi Dawn!<BR><BR>Sorry I missed meeting you in Venice. Glad you had such a great time!<BR><BR>Monica, hope to see you before you go. I still have Sherry's books (thank you Sherry) and we have much to talk about at any rate!!<BR><BR>see you all soon I hope!<BR><BR>Beth
