We are now in Florence. We got up at the butt crack of dawn to check out of our hostel in Venice and catch our train. We were all disappointed when the McDonald's didn't open til 9:00. We made it to Florence with no issues. Thomas found our hostel. It is a nice place, though not quite as nice as our last on. Once we got settled, we saw a Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit and the David. Both were very cool. The gelato, however, was better in Rome. You weren't allowed to take picutres in the Accademia ( where The David is) so I bought a postcard. 2004 was David's 500th birth day, so they set up this whole new exhibit around him. Some of the modern art dedicated to David and Michelangleo was downright fugly. Anyway, we still have to pay for internet access, so I may not post again til at least Paris, if not when I get back to the States. but who knows, I might just pay for more time. Ciao.

You've develloped an unhealthy obsession with gelato.
I read somewhere (insert geek comment here) that they surrounded David with a LED display that changes colors and whatnot, up towards the ceiling of his room. Was this true?
Happy Travelling!
The DAVID, ugh! My jealousy continues! I'm typing from your Mom's laptop. I'm flying home today after finishing the deck. Her neighbor told us we were the entertainment for the people across the lake who were watching us work. I'm sure it was interesting as the concrete pad we were building on was 12' at one end and 14' at the other and no where near level, so the deck is in the air on the end by the lake. We had to hurdle the joists in order to attach the planks. After this, were thinking of trying out for the Olympic track team for hurdles! Anyway after much leveling and cussing and cussing leveling the deck deck is finished and looks very good. Glad you're having a good time. Be sure to call me when you get home!
Love,
Sonya
Good job on the deck. Can't wait to see it. And I will be sure to call you when I get home. Hopefully we'll both avoid the "whatcha doin' this weekend" call for at least a little while, til mom comes up with a new project anyway.
Hola,
Sorry I haven't been on sooner. Been extremely busy at work. Sonya and I finished the deck and it is nothing short of spectacular. OK so maybe not as spectacular as what you are seeing, but for us it is pretty awsome. Will get the check to Clemson out tomorrow. I got another identical scholarship thing to sign. Don't know whats up with that. Can't wait to see you.
Love
-Mom

I get to see her first!
But don't worry, I promise to take good care of her. I'll bet the first thing she'll want state-side is a decent shower, then some rest. By the time she goes down to Florida she'll be all better.
Mom: just incase, the amount is $1332.00 and teh address is Clemson University
