Katie called ... Twice!

Never underestimate the power of the Roman Catholic Church in the Vatican City. Katie went there today and called me right after.

She's having a great time, so much fun, no time to call. Yesterday they went to the Coliseum and then had a 14 course meal afterwards. She said that she tried EVERYTHING, even the calamari (not a seafood fan). She was surprised at all the things she liked, not the calamari though, she thought that was nasty. But she said that even the people who liked calamari thought it was nasty.

She like Rome, but doesn't have a strong desire to ever go back. She is really looking forward to Florence and thinks it will be her favorite place in Italy. She is having a great time everywhere and says that even when things go wrong, I guess the buses are always late, she has a really good attitude and just goes with the flow while others complain. Wow, she is growing up.

And for those who asked, when they were in Amsterdam they did go into an actual hash bar, twice. But as they say on the billboards, "What happens in Amsterdam, stays in Amsterdam."

On the postcard front the score is: Katie 5, Jenny 3.
