Italy & Belgium 2003

Lisa spent Junior year abroad in Leuven, Belgium. She finished her spring break trip to Italy in Rome and meet the other 5 of us at the airport.

We rented a Ford Transit drove across Italy to Chieti and registered at the Hotel Grand Abruzzo, arriving Holy Thursday. Nervously I called Luigi that night. He invited us to his parents house for Easter lunch. I knew from that moment on this was going to be a most awesome visit.
