Tired Babies! Our cousin Maria, wearing the dress we brought her The view from our "Hell Hotel" Enjoying a pastry in San Vito Lo Capo The famous Rialto Bridge over the Grand Canal in Venice

Since I have last posted we have been to Ferrara, Venice, and now we are in Sicily.  The internet connections have been poor to non existent.  I had better luck posting in China.  I only have a few moments so I will put a few pictures up and hopefully have time to post tomorrow after the wedding.  The girls are doing fine.  There are a few more meltdowns now as we have been gone more than two weeks and they talk about home.  But for all the changes and things that we have been putting them through, I think they are doing great.  We had bad luck with my choice of "hotels" here in Sicily.  Our Hotel was maybe just a step up from camping.  I should have known when we moved in and saw the mop in the bathroom that there was something up.  I took a shower the first day and there was a flood!  The shower was smaller than our motorhome shower and there was no air conditioning.  The only thing it had going for it was a beautiful view of the ocean.  After one miserable night,  we made the choice that we would rather pay for 7 nights of (ok, I don't usually use this word but it is the only word that fits here) "Hell" than actually live it.  So we relocated to a brand new hotel in Buseto Palizzolo with air conditioning, towels, no mop, and a pool, oh and two bathrooms rather than one!
