Cary and Char Plus One!

Okay, so I was a little off...we were in Rome one more day...and today we are back in Paris. It's good to be back, except for the fact that I got a touch of food poisoning in Rome. I knew eggs on pizza were not a good idea. I was a whiny little so and so yesterday, and Cary was kind enough to pack both of our belonging and get us ready to leave for Paris this morning.

We had a moment of despair, at 5:15 in the morning we could not find a cab to save our lives. We went to three corners and no one would stop. Finally we flagged one down, but not after yelling at each other over what to do. We got to the airport, Ciampino, in good time, but the cattle call feel of Southwest just doesn't do it for me, you know? Cary yaks on the plane (in the bathroom) and we're set. We have to take a hour long bus ride from the airport...think that this is Ryanair, and it's like southwest therefore that means that it's not in a major airport like San Francisco. It's in...Stockton. No offense, Stocktonites. Yikes.

The good news though is that we got a second chance to go to the Musei Vaticani, and yes we did see the Sistine Chapel, and we did get to see the Raphael Rooms. I felt like crap when we got there and it was closed, but definitely happy that Cary got to see the museum we travelled so far to see.

The last few days in Rome were pretty good, but we definitely have dropped some weight due to my food poisoning (damn eggs) and just eating less than we're used to. Mind you, it's not that we are not eating, it's just that it gets mad expensive, you know? Cary and I have been talking about what we are going to eat when we get back. I want a rainbow salad from Burma Superstar, and he wants dim sum or some chinese food. WE have both sworn off pasta for the next two years.

Today is our day to pick up the gifts for family and tie up some loose ends here. We're dead ready to get back home. We haven't loaded any pics from Rome but I'm going to try since we're on stolen internet ;-)

At any rate, thanks for all the well wishes...talk to you all soon! In person, even! We fly into SFO tomorrow at 9:45 for reals this time.
