Hey Unemployed Bumer and the Roamer,

You know what I find quite interesting is that even when you two come back in a couple weeks, you both can still use those names :)

I enjoyed reading the 20/20 on Italy. Makes for a great summary and some fun facts!

Thanks Chris, for saying that you enjoyed Paris over Milan. I know that we have an unspoken bond and you didn't need to mention that I was the reason that Paris was better.

Ravy, we can talk when you get home. I'm wondering if you have ever heard of lying just to make someone else feel good? again, we can talk when you get home!

Oh, and yes I know the e-mail is coming, I promise!

Natty :)
