What light through yonder window breaks

Hi All,

I am strugging with an Italian keyboard and a lingering Italian dinner..

We are in Verona and what a beautiful place. Weather is warm and a little overcast. Most of the time it has been fine, around 25C. We are getting a little rain.

The trip from London to Milan was great. Fast and comfortable. The French Alps were beautiful. We arrived in Milan around 9.30pm. Found the hotel after a little assistance and then on to Verona this morning.

Have seen the Roman theatre, Juliets balcony and our first Piazza. Absolutely wonderful.

Will be in touch when we can. Internet is scarce at this stage.

Lv Frank and Julie.

PS. Hi David, Janet is the cousin in the first two photos. I also thought Mary had a passing likeness to Janice but you be the judge.

Nice to hear from everyone.

Hey mummish and daddish!
looks like all is going well! oh fair Verona! good to hear the weather is nice, we to have had a beautiful sunny autumn day in true melbourne style! All is well at home, thought i might update you with some happenings..
Dog is dopey and cat is cynical as always! Work is going really well, my 6 months is almost up, so i get a corporate lunch soon! but it's going really well after the performance review when i said that i really enjoyed the investigative stuff, Adam's really involved me in a few jobs that require that sort of approach which is great and makes me very :)
Karyn is well to she wanted me to say hi, cause she seems to still be having a little trouble with the blog, so we might be work-shopping soon!
In other news, i've fallen in love with the Wii, that little Nintendo console with the motion sensitive remotes! it's great, the lyons have the fitness software and there's a little pad that you stand on, and you can play all sorts of games, and do silly things like hula hooping! i think i'm going to have to look into getting one, i'll check it out and see if maybe it's possible to get one from KL.
Dave is going really well too! he says hi! we went out to dinner last night to celebrate his last day of uni ever! and he also got a call back from Google to have a second interview, which he has to fly to sydney for! yay! go team dave!
anyways, must leg it! dave's laptop is running out of battery, just wanted to share some news from home.
Love you! and talk to you soon!
