Ate breakfast at the hotel and packed our stuff. We took an uber to the Rome train station which was very very hectic. We were told that pick pocketers were prevenlent and with the recent attack in Brussels we were both a bit on guard. It took us a few minutes to figure out the ticketing station and then we waited for our train number to appear on the sign. We walked out to our platform and waited. The only seats left were 1sr class so we had to pay a bit more for them. We happened to be sitting in the same car as the loudest 4 children on the train. They were yelling and screaming and up and down out of their seats. The trains travel at very high speeds and I was feeling a bit motion sick. At one point John got fed up and as one of the kids started running over to our seats he slammed him hand down and said "SIT DOWN" for the rest of the trip the kids were a bit more quiet. But we were super happy to be off that train. We walked from the train station to our hotel, which was about 10 long blocks away. It is a very eclectic hotel, that is very very old. <div><br></div><div>We left our bags and set out to explore the new city. For some reason we thought that Florence was much slower and smaller then Rome, but we were wrong.

EatWithWe left Portland on a raining Sunday afternoon at 2pm. It took us just over 16 hours to get to our Hotel in Rome. We checked in at 4pm. I had arranged for us to have our first dinner with EAtWith, a company that allows you to purchase a seat at a local chef's table. We attended "our family's traditional roman cuisine" hosted by Barbara. But we had 4 hours to kill, we knew if we took a nap we might miss the dinner. So we found a coffee shop, had a few espresso shots and started to explore the neighborhood we were staying in. <div><br></div><div>We hired an Uber to take us to Barabara house. Rome is filled with tight one way streets, drivers and motorcycles whip right through them. We were able to find her apartment and rang her doorbell. We walked up tight stairs and were welcomed with open arms as if we were old friends. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-CoMGTROl4hzz8J7XQ-nqQroCK8xpWM0D2g8GrRKZ5LOgzg7S7kYcyo7rj4YsdfLaX2TKsoszTxInhmIiHsXQLL-lkRWv26dypFynJhXD9BEw5-ng5NsnnXqpL1g_BMUtTBaHdpLuRbCD/s640/blogger-image--1785890463.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-CoMGTROl4hzz8J7XQ-nqQroCK8xpWM0D2g8GrRKZ5LOgzg7S7kYcyo7rj4YsdfLaX2TKsoszTxInhmIiHsXQLL-lkRWv26dypFynJhXD9BEw5-ng5NsnnXqpL1g_BMUtTBaHdpLuRbCD/s640/blogger-image--1785890463.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was just over 1,000 sq feet and decorated with nick nacks everywhere. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHsbZyUVmDYJ61pYrh-r9KF7r7MyTrlIxy45cBZ1fNq9zBQThHG3Mtg3vxRg978CTK4DYOmfMYVO-CPH-jeFTAeyhyP_ULjq7PoC5QfR6OwYd5b2Xnlc_ysPB7RnIIMpwLYQBcUao3ced_/s640/blogger-image-995103334.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHsbZyUVmDYJ61pYrh-r9KF7r7MyTrlIxy45cBZ1fNq9zBQThHG3Mtg3vxRg978CTK4DYOmfMYVO-CPH-jeFTAeyhyP_ULjq7PoC5QfR6OwYd5b2Xnlc_ysPB7RnIIMpwLYQBcUao3ced_/s640/blogger-image-995103334.jpg"></a>The other couple we dined with were from the Netherlands.

It was believed, that the author was <strong>clockmaster Hanus</strong>, also called Jan of Ruze, who lived in the 15 <sup>th</sup> century. The story said that the clock was admired by many foreigners, but Hanus refused to show construction plans to anybody. When Prague Councillors found out that he was going to make another, even better clock, they became jealous and blinded him so he could not finish it.

The wait staff was rude, and we were so tired and hungry. After a very long wait we finally got our food. John had sea food pasta and I have salmon and shrimp pasta. The food was delicious but the service was terrible. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We went back to the hotel and fell asleep.

The Volvo overseas delivery program is almost too good to be true. You get to order your new volvo exactly the way you want, you get 6% off MSRP, shipment of your car back to the states, one night hotel accommodations plus you get 2 round trip plane tickets to Gothenburg Sweden. I have to admit, when I first heard about all that was included I thought it was just too good to true, but I am here to tell you it is TRUE! <br />
<br />
Last summer I went to the volvo dealership look at the new cars and find out more about the overseas delivery program. I took the S60 for a test drive and instantly fell in love. The salesman went over all the options that I could get and wrote up a quick order with price quote for me. Then he shared all the details about the overseas delivery program. I was a little surprised that it took so long to get your car.<br />
<br />
Important things to note about the program<br />
1. You must pay a non refundable $2000 deposit at the time you order<br />
2. You must order your car 120 days before you want to travel<br />
3. It will take 8-12 weeks for the car to be shipped back to the states. <br />
<br />
We decided to order our new car in December so that we could get the 2014 pricing. The ordering process of ordering the car was so quick and easy. <br />

We worked with Mark Wanaka at HERZOG-MEIER Volvo in Beaverton Oregon.
Mark was great, since I already knew the specs for my car the whole
ordering process took less then an hour. (If you are thinking of doing
the overseas delivery program I highly recommend Mark. You can contact
him at mark.wanaka@herzogmeier.com)<br />

And now we wait... 133 days.. or 19 weeks until we leave!

In some ways it feels like it was just yesterday, but in others it feels so far away. John and I have had such an amazing first year of marriage, it will be such a fun adventure to see where the future takes us.<br />
<br />
We decided to go back to The Governor to celebrate. The Governor exceeded out expectations for our wedding and they did the same thing for our anniversary (even though they have recently been bought out). When we arrived we were told that we were upgrade to the penthouse suit we had for our wedding. (A pretty great deal since it was 375+ per night).<br />
<br />
As we walked the halls to our room I was flooded with memories of our wedding day. Getting ready with all my bridesmaids, dancing with champagne and cake in our room after the wedding, and taking 2 bubble baths the mornings of the wedding because I was too excited to sleep.<br />
<br />
For dinner we went to Jakes's grill and a yummy meal. Then we went to starbucks for some wine, ( yes starbucks has wine and yes it was actually really good). After we went back up to our room to enjoy the cake topper. Don't worry, we didn't' freeze the one from our real wedding, we just ordered a fresh one. We shared a bottle of champagne and watched the slide show of our wedding. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RIjphNYncY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RIjphNYncY</a> In stead of buying a card, I suggested that we exchange a letter, just like we did on our wedding day. <br />
