Hi, John! Here it is our 10th day on the road (Dec. 28) and soon I will be seeing the leaning tower of Pisa. Saw all sorts of interesting things in Rome -- Colosseum, Roman Forum, catacombs, lots of fountains and churches . . . . Have you seen any pictures of Rome? Yesterday the highlight in Florence was that we splurged and bought our first meal. After 9 days of sandwiches it tasted good (I had lasagna and roasted chicken) but I think I get fuller faster on our bread & meat. I tried to call home on Christmas but the operators in Rome were on strike. If I meet Joe in France, he will have to find me because I didn't know we were getting together. (Please pass the hint that I could use a ew BIC pen, this one has its ons a & offs.) It is strange to think I will be soon starting my 4th decade. Northern Italy appears to be very poor -- mountains, soil not growing much, run down houses. I can see why they had trouble fighting the war here.
Love, Catherine
