Hi all,
I havent posted for the last couple weeks due to the fact that I am in Italy right now. We are gone for 3 weeks. We have been in Toronto, Rome, now in Florence, and are going to Venice and England. I will upload photos and stories in this thread upon my return. Most likely i will be able to get into another internet cafe within a week.

Well I think that is an acceptable excuse for not posting (gritting my teeth out of jealousy)!  |

Hope You are having fun!
My great uncle is burried in a war cemitary in Anzio. He was a member of the famed "Devils Brigade" Aka the First Special Service Force based out of Helena Montana. This was a joint Canadian-American unit from 1942-1944.
I am leaving home on Sunday for thier annual reunion in ST Paul Minnesota been held from Wednsday to Saturday of this comming week. AH yes folks Another 2 nights on the Old Greyhound bus comming up. We travel from Vancouver to Seattle then across to Spokane, through Idaho, Montana, North Dakota into Minnisota. Its going to be fun. We are also planning on taking a short paddle wheel cruise up the Mississippi river. (hope to get pictures and videos). Then its another 2 nights on the bus comming home.
Hopefully I will find a computer cafe and I will update this board.
PS: FYI my forum name is from Peter Falk's charater in the war movie "Anzio" He played a member of the Devil's Brigade.

Have fun on your vacation QoNT in Italia. As you might be able to see on the Forward Lounge page, an Olympics thread has been started with 2008 games beginning. On that topic, will your travels take you to past Italian Olympic cities? Torino (2006 Winter), Cortina D'ampezzo (1956 Winter), and were you able to see any landmarks of the 1960 Summer games in Rome?
Ciao! ;D

Update: we are now in London, and are nearing the end of our trip. we will be coming home in 4 days  Venice was really cool, and we used their transit system tons. They also have 3 sister ship car ferries that bring cars to a part of venice. I got a few photos, they are actually pretty neat! Photos will be posted as soon as I get home. Answer to question: I do remember seeing a whole bunch of signs for Torino, but I don't recall seeing anything in Rome. |
