Hello everyone! We werent able to reach internet for the past 3 days or so but now we are in Florence and found a place. Barcelona was a lot of fun, we stayed with Shannon from Australia and hit the beach and sights. I went to La Sagrada Familia, the cathedral and the olympic site which was really really cool. The whole area was up on a hill and overlooked all of the city. After Barcelona we were off to La Cinque Terra, a paradise of its own truely. We had a blast there, super relaxing. We stayed in Riomaggiore 2 nights and did a run to Cornogelio. On our way back we hit up some jump sites on Mandora, the city next to Riomaggiore. We beached it basically all day and did some snorkeling as well, joaquin for his first time. We saw a lot of cool fish and enjoyed the warm, clear water. A really nice turn around form the touristy Barcelona. We took a train to Pisa and saw the leaning tower as well as the cathedrala nd dome next to it, for me that was a trip to see after seeing so many photos of it, most in Freebirds. Pisa was a nice little stop we spent roughly 4 hrs there and we are now in Florence. We just visited the piazza del Ufizzi or something like that and we are going to Duomo after this. I hope all is well and we are still waiting on a legit computer to post photos. We will try to post some here.

Nice hear some words from you pelado. Is your Italian improving?
Make sure you take in as many historical sights as possible there in Florence and in the rest of Italy. Do soak it in and take time to reflect.

Love,

Papa,

Can't wait to see some pictures Joaco. Maybe at your Dad's cousins you can upload.
