The past couple of days have been very hard. We received some terrible news and wanted, more than anything, to be with our family. We had actually just said last week how we don't feel that far away from friends and family because of Skype, email, Facebook, etc. However, we could not have felt farther away this weekend. We really had to lean on each other for support. Luckily, we were able to Skype with our entire family last night, which made the distance (and pain) a little easier to bear. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers now in this tough time.
We went to Rimini this weekend, a beach town on the Adriatic Sea. The weather Saturday was gorgeous and we were even able to lay at the beach for a while. Yesterday, we felt like we were in the midst of a mild hurricane though. It poured and the winds were gusting all day....a perfect day for sitting at a restaurant talking all day. Today, we left Italy...for San Marino! This is a small, landlocked country in Italy that doesn't even have border control. We took a gondola ride up to the top of the mountain and saw a few ancient fortresses before paying €5 each to get an official San Marino passport stamp. It was worth it to prove that we were there and it is a neat stamp. We took a scenic, but very long drive home tonight and are happy to be relaxing for a bit.
Arrivederci!
