Sadly there was no adventure to be found in Morocco since we weren't allowed to leave the airport...instead we sat on our keisters in the airport all day and tried to read up on any adventures we may find in Rome! As it turns out, we didn't have to look very hard as adventure was waiting for us on arrival at the airport. Seems Rome's airport baggage handling has made national news headlines. Yep...one week later, we're still missing 2 pieces of luggage. In a moment of brilliance, we decided to pack everything we could possibly need while in Europe in one piece of luggage...which of course never made it! It has meant repurchasing a few needed items (where's a Walmart when you need one) and lots of handwashing. Funny thing is that it'll look like we only spent a day in Rome and a day in Paris since we'll be wearing the same things. The other was gifts and a few of our more valuable items. Big big bummer! On the plus side, it's alot easier getting around with less luggage :)
Never-the-less, we've had a ball in Rome. The weather has been incredible - although we hear everyone complaining about how hot it is...they obviously haven't been to Africa! The city is clean and uncongested which has made getting around to see the sites a breeze! (I understand locals all leave the city in August for their summer holidays.) Most fun has been taking on the challenge of determining the tastiest flavour of Gelato...a burdensome task indeed but someone has to do it :)
- JP's favorite...stracciatella (boring!)
- My favorite...pistaccio!
Now, it's off to Paris in a couple of minutes... We're a touch worried we'll lose the last of our luggage but this time we at least have all of our remaining clothing (and toothbrushes) in our carry on!

Glad you are making the best without your luggage. Is there any way you can get it back? Enjoy Paris and happy early anniversary!
