Zach`s Birthday


First of all Happy Birthday to my baby boy, Zachary Taylor Rayburn. If you are 15, that means that I must be...old. Anyway I love you very much and know that you are destined for greatness. May you continue to find favor with both God and man.

I am blogging from Venice, Italy. This is a pic of the Bridge of Sighs. Today is the first day that I have ran here. We have done so much walking that my legs felt kinda tired and sore from that, not to mention that we have been staying out late, so it is hard to get up. I am going to try to run again Sunday before we leave. There is a tiny island across from Venice called Giudecca. That is were the Venetians go to run. It has a nice smooth walkway about a mile long. Not quite long enough for me, plus there are many sets of bridges (READ: STAIRS) That have to be crossed. Anyway I did about 7 miles today and it felt good. I was really a nice, although hot run.

Venice is great. We also went to Florence the other day. It was way cool. A lot more hustle and bustle than that of Venice though. We saw Michelangelo`s David. WOW! Very magnifico!

Gotta go see some more stuff, can`t spend all my time and Euros on Internet. :)

Ciao, Ciao!
