Hello from Genova!

Hello from Genova! I am currently on the hotel computer in the Hotel Bellevue in Genova, Italy. We are on our 8 day trip touring the northern cities in Italy this week...the 10 hr drive was nothing, being that I slept mostly all of it, besides doing my italian work. The ride was also nice because we took a coach bus, and each of us had our own set of 2 seats! That made it much easier to pass out. I am trying to upload some pictures of my hotel room here, a typical, small European-style room..but this computer, to my knowledge, has no port for my USB! I also cannot even log into facebook, because these European keyboards dont have a normal "at" sign, its underneath the Q and I cannot even get it to type...its like a subletter of Q. Weird. Youll also notice there are no apostrophes, thats because I cant get to those either.

Either way, we had a pretty nice day today in Genova, we learned about a huge urban planning project that is being designed and carried out for the port city of Genova, went to a pretty cool museum, and then checked out the aquarium that Renzo Piano designed and revamped. Everything was really nice. Now Im back at the hotel, taking it easy for a little while. Tomorrow, we have some CRAZY tour planned, we are literally walking all over Genova and killing ourselves. Should be great!

I hope everyone is doing wonderfully..I would like to say CONGRATS! to Alicia for her Bridal Shower, CONGRATS! to the 4 new members of the Rusty Pipes (Nick, Brian, Tony and Jeffry) and HELLO to EVERYONE out there! HI FAMILY! HI FRIENDS! HI MATTY!

Everyone take care, and I will upload pictures as soon as I can!
