I can’t believe we’re actually going!  I’m very excited for the trip and I can’t wait to see the Eiffel Tower–at night!–not to mention all the ancient castles.  I’m going to try picking up Italian, and I’m looking forward to eating the original pizza!  I’m really going to have fun biking, especially in the Loire Valley in France.  I’ll have my own camera along and so you can check back in now and then for new photos and comments.  If I manage to spot Nessie (AKA the Loch Ness Monster) on our way through northern Scotland, I’ll be sure to post the picture right here!

Ciao for now!
