October 2006: Bordeaux France






What an amazing part of the world. We stayed at beautiful chateau's with the decor to match. John said that his grandmother would have loved the decor of our hotels, I said that my friend Erin would have liked them even more. I never knew you could put that much fabric in one room! We visited the Medoc wine region and a few of the famous vineyards there, then headed to St. Emillon where we enjoyed the wineries in the region and the great food. Anyone interested in buying a vacation home/vineyard in France? Let us know, we might be interested in participating!

October 2006: Roma!





As usual, I crashed my sister's vacation to Europe! This time the destination was Rome, and I had no excuse not to go considering John was off in a foreign land working and I have plenty of vacation time burning a hole in my backpocket. I joined Carol, her friend Mary, and a host of Santa Clara grads for a tour of Rome. Despite the down pour that hit us at the Vatican and my fight with the poor guy who was selling umbrellas, it was a great trip and I can not wait to take John back there for some proper pasta and gelato! Thank you Carol!!
