Finally, Internet Center Found

Hi from both of us. Yes, we are doing fine. We are now in Ravenna. Weather could not be better. This trip has been very interesting for us - a series of lessons we will elaborate on later.

In a nutshell: on 9/12 we left Mestre, which is just outside of Venice, on a sunny glorious summery day that turned into a savage winter storm by afternoon. We made 41 km to the town of Sottomarina south of Lido, and managed to set tent during a lull.

We spent three days mostly in the tent (not made for heavy rains) bailing out water at our feet, as it came in through the zipper in the front. To make things worst, Mauny came down with a horrible chest cold. We are behind on updating our blog due to lack of internet places, so it might be awhile between posts. We will start detailing our daily experiences now.
