Sorry Everyone. Europe hates Blogger

Hey there!! The computers over here have not really been liking me much. I've been able to check my email, but blogger was being fidgety. So sorry for the lack of posts. I shall try to sum up the last few days as best I can. Venice was beautiful, I'm sure I mentioned. That night at midnight (which turned it to the 13) a bunch of guys from my bus bought me some shots...six (that's right brandon, six) and I did them all in about a minute and a half. My friend Steph has photographic proof. I was a little tipsy for the first time in my life, but it was lots of fun, lots of dancing, and I was not sick or hungover, so no real harm done. Then we went on to Rome, which was amazing!! I only wish I had more time there. I got to go into the Colleseum!! The only thing I didn't get to see was the Spanish Steps, but after the long RIDICULOUSLY HOT day, I couldn't get the energy to go that far. It was good all around. Florence was also beautiful, great food. I climbed to the top of the bell tower at the Duomo (not to the top of the dome cuz the lines were too long), the view was absolutely spectacular. Got lots of pics. But after over 400 steps, I was freaking exhausted!! Great time though, great food. Bought myself a ring that is also a puzzle, very cool, as well as some itallian sued gloves for driving my car in winter (they're green!!!) Now I am in Switzerland and this has been my first real chance to post in a long while. They're not kidding when they call this tour a whirl!!! I spent today on top of the Swiss Alps!! Now I know I'm from Canada and I've seen the rockies, but being up in them among the snow and the peaks is just mindblowingly cool and so beautiful! I walked out on the mountainside and it was like being in a dream. It was warm out, proabbly above zero, soft snow underfoot, and so much cloud aroudn that u couldn't see 20 feet in any direction, but not wet. Standing still it was almost completely silent up there. Truly it was like being in a dream. Fantastic experience!! And I got to walk through tunnels through the mountain and through an ice palace!! How neat is that!? Okay, I really have to cut this off because it's costing me a fortune, but I love and miss u all and will be filling u in on more details when I get back to cheap internet in london. Hugs all around, Cheers from Switzerland (only France left to go!!)
Love u all lots, Mel
PS-HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD!!! LOVE YOU-bub

Did the Saint Bernard find you? We sent him to look for you this morning - sorry we missed your call but we were outside painting and didn't hear the damn phone. As well, we had to go out and buy a new answering machine as it appears that the old one has finally calved. Hope to have it hooked up tonight.

Between coats of paint on the garage door we went to the Show 'n Shine - what a gorgeous day we had today so there were lots of people at the show. This year it was even smaller than last year!

Mom cooked me Chinese food for Father's day supper - it was delicious and tasted just like the Chinese that I cook on Friday's sometime. Anyway we are glad that all is still going well and that you are having a great time.

We love you lots XOXOXOX Mom & Dad
