The 6 hour hike took us from lake level of 6,400 feet to 9,700 feet, passing Lake Gilmore, and only a few other hard-core hikers, most of whom had spent the night on the mountain Amynoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660447.post-1129071374922044342005-10-11T15:53:00.000-07:002005-10-11T15:56:14.930-07:00On a personal note, I have now officially changed my name to McDonough, which is a LOT more involved than first expected and requires multiple trips to various government agencies.On a professional note, I'm at the mobile imaging summit www.mobileimagingsummit.com in Monterey, CA.

There are about four million people who live here, and about that many tourists as well...at least it seems that way!

Today was Joe's choice, and he picked well! It is a beautiful Tuscan hill town built up with many fortresses for protection. Of the original 72, only 14 remain. We climbed the tallest one, about 300 steps, and it was well worth the view.

We left our lovely hotel in Florence (Hotel de la Ville) this morning for Siena. Based on Rick Steve's recommendation, we took the bus, which was faster than the train, but decided we will not do that again. The bus was fine, but neither Joe nor I had a great trip on those windy roads, and the Italians drive like madmen!

They take 2 seating times, at 7:30 and 9:30 pm. You can make a reservation, but either way, you stand like cattle in line at the door, while the waiters wave at you from inside the locked door.

It is hot here and there are many tourists, but I love the shopping and we have done a lot of walking so far. We walked over Ponte Vechhio, old bridge, this morning. I am trying to convince Joe to place a locked lock on the bridge and drop the key into the Arno River, but no luck yet!

Joe and I are having a wonderful time in Italy so far. We flew into Milan on Tuesday afternoon and went to see The Last Supper, which is much larger in person. We definitely think that it is Mary Magdalene, like Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code. We had one minor hiccup the first day in that our hotel had overbooked the place, and we had no room!

On Wednesday, Joe and I took a trip downtown to city hall to apply for a marriage license.

I'm sure Joe thinks I am an official bridezilla after yesterday - the maps were supposed to be on ivory colored paper to match the invitations, but ended up stark white. So this morning I was back at Kinko's for take two.In other news, we now have an appointment to apply for our marriageAmynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660447.post-1121019808989202802005-07-10T11:22:00.000-07:002005-07-10T11:23:28.996-07:00I've been taking a lot of slack for rarely updating my blog, but I'm going to make a conscience effort to update daily - starting today!

Joe is taking some (boring) insurance class, while I take PR. A little bit more fun, but still work. After some terrible suggestions, I finally picked a company to cover for PR coverage. TiVo - it's a product I love so it will be interesting, and has gotten some good AND bad PR coverage recently.

We were in LA this weekend visiting with Baby (aka Alyssa) Spickler and her friends who came from Florida, the spring break capital of the world, to California, for their spring break.

First, a shout-out to Mrs. Ruby, who we think is featured in the previously shown Presbyterian Church photo taken by Mr. Ruby. Second, for those of you who may have been mislead, Baby Kyle is my nephew, a 1 and a 1/2 year old peach, who just learned how to say the word apple, and boy does he like to practice repeating it!

That is one tough dog I tell you. A dog that doesn't even like us, and growls when she sees us, after all we've done for her.

We had a fun Happy Hour over at Maya last night followed by East Coast style pizza on the West Coast from Amici's, and that yummy ranch dressing. Tonight is girl's night hosted by Amber- we sometimes need a little girl time - sappy movies, junk food, and dishing on the boys!
Also - a great article in the NYTimes about our Pats and Belichick:

Dance class. We learned the basic swing and foxtrot steps - I must say, we are all quite talented. We could use a little practice, but who couldn't?

To the A's organization: Your jumbotron featured a "Let's Go A's" rally cry, unfortunately, the apostrophe translates to Let us Go A's as a possessive, when it correctly should read Lets Go A's (plural, as opposed to possessive).
