The same place for two nights... ahhh...

Greetings from Esslingen, Germany! It has been a whirlwind trip so far and I am about to head to bed, but I'll quickly load a few pictures and hope to write in more detail tomorrow.

Quick recap:
Thursday: we arrived in Rome and took a walking tour of the city as the last post stated.
Friday: Picked up our Fiat PANDA and headed out of town to Tivoli Gardens and then to Orvieto where we camped near La Rocca.
Saturday: We packed up, visited a couple more sites and stocked up on meat and cheese and drove to Sienna.
Sunday: After lovely Sienna (oh so pretty), we went to my personal favorite: Volterra where we stayed in a seminary built in 1002. Fantastic little town.
Monday: We drove northwest, stopping for a very unfortunate hour and a half in Pisa (stupid *&#$%ing Pisa, as it is now known) where our car was broken into and my laptop and computer were stolen. Black Panda was sent for repairs and the White Panda was picked up, so we could happily leave Pisa and continue onto Cinque Terra (Manarola, to be precise) where we had an incredible dinner.
Tuesday: Packing up again, we piled in the car and headed to Germany. Oohing and ahhing at Switzerland's beauty and stopping in Liechtenstein for a beer and a grape juice. We made it to Esslingen late last night and were warmly welcomed by Charles and Elisabetta.
Today! Sterling and Jennifer drove to Munich to visit their friend and I happily played with my beautiful niece and nephew. More to explore and more to come!

We're sorry to hear about your computer being stolen :( If it was your Mac, and you were running Lion (by chance) you may be able to track it down online or at least wipe the contents clean:

Thanks josh! Unfortunately, my OS is not new enough to have that feature and I'd turned off the cloud. Too bad. Next mac will have those features though!
