... off for now to plant backs and stuff by our door because the only way to lock it is to use the key which is an old time key skeleton key and if you lock it then you lock yourself in. Well if I need to get out in a hurry then what, so I decided to put our medicine bottles in front of the door and when someone opens it then they will fall on the bottles.

I had my espresso and coconut yogurt with corn flakes which is my favorite! I have not found anything close to it in the states. We were going to go the the other girls to ...

... over 5 miles. <br>A lot of people told us we'd visit Venice regularly over the next few years while we are stationed in Aviano....and I think they might be right.

I wasn't that impressed with the meals thus far and that mornings breakfast was no better. As ...
