Rome

We began our European vacation in Roma! We hit up the Colloseum and the Roman Forum.   We walked for miles and miles and saw Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona.  We walked a few steps from our apartment to the Vatican, where I failed dress code.  After a quick change, we listened to Rick Steves tell us all about St. Peter's and we climbed to the top of the basilica.  We took siestas everyday to escape the heat and ate lots of gelato. It was awesome. 

Lecco

We took a nice commuter train to Milan, and then a tiny train to Lecco. This was the most beautiful place we've ever seen, and some of our favorite moments were on our hotel balcony drinking wine while taking in the amazing scenery. We talked about living in the Alps, and starting an internet coupon company (him) and finding some sick people to care for (her).  We took a boat ride to Bellagio, and I searched in vain for George Clooney.  It was absolute heaven, and we can't wait to go back.

Milan

We then took the train from Lecco to Milan. We spent one short day here before flying to Paris the next day.  We saw the gorgeous Il Duomo and looked at all the pretty people. Dylan could have spent a few days shopping here.

Paris

We stayed at the Westin Paris across from Le Jardin des Tuileries. We walked to the Louvre and saw Mona.  We ate crepes while waiting in line for the Eiffel Tower.  We went to the Champs Elysees and stood under the Arc de Triomphe.  And we escaped the crowds and the rain to the Bastille neighborhood where we ate snails and drank lots of beer.  It was the BTE. (best trip ever).
