Our Little Benny

Ok everybody we got a package today from my little brother Ben. He sent us a cd with pictures and a tape. I figured all my family would like too see them as well. If your not my family or really just don't know Ben then you probably wont really care about the pictures, but they are of Italy which is beautiful so you might find them interesting. There are a lot, I have to post it on two different slides because there are so many. Something a little funny about the pictures, Lance and I were listening to the tape and Ben was talking about the city he is in and how it is on the Mediterranean Sea. He then started saying that the beaches really weren't anything special and kinda crappy. Then he talked about how no one goes in the water and just lays out on the beach and that he didn't understand why they don't go swimming . What Lance and I got a lick out of was that he said there are just a bunch of rocks on the beach and that's why they aren't that great. Lance and I then went to look at the pictures and came to the ones of the beach and looked at the rocks and laughed. You have to understand that Lance is mister rock man and saw those as prime climbing rocks right over the ocean! To him it was BEAUTIFUL! So Ben will be getting an ear full on how he should appreciate the beauty of them. Have fun looking oh and sorry some pictures are blurry! I will let Ben know he needs to work on his skills!

Peter and I have talked about living on the Mediterranean coast of Italy for a year once he gets settled into a real professor job and can take a sabbatical. It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! Your brother is lucky.
