11-28-06 4:00am

It is 11am here in Rome, and we have just gotten back from visiting Vatican City. We hopped on the local Metro and got off right in front of St. Peter's Square. We managed to look inside where the Pietra is (absolutely breath taking) and the memorials to many of the pope's are there too. But Em tripped on a cobble stone 2 days ago, and today her leg is really bothering her. She was limping really badly and she iced it at the Vatican information station and we decided to go back for some rest. So she is back at the pensione, on the roof overlooking the the courtyard from the previous posts' picture and a beautiful church in back, reading a book.

Thank you eveyone who has posted so far for your support and prayers. Em and I can feel your prayers halfway across the world. We feel such peace and know that God is in control of everything. We spent a long time in prayer last night, in praise of Him and in thanksgiving of such wonderful family and friends!

I am going to head out now, in search of some Ben-Gay type stuff, only it's called Voltaren and it smells a lot better. Oh, and Em wants a walking stick, just like her family had when they visited Europe :) so I need to find one.

I will try and post more pictures and a synopsis of our day yesterday. I am at an internet cafe right now, so I am not using my laptop. Ciao for now!

I hope you didn't trip on a cobble stone wearing some great new 4" Italian heels and then wreck them! :) Hee, Hee. But seriously, we hope that you are out and about again soon, Emilee. We love the updates - keep them coming. Also, if you have any needs here at home due to your possible change in schedule, email us and let us know how we can help you out. We're glad to help any way we can.
