Earthquake

Just wanted to let everyone know that Sean and I are ok.

We weren't affected by the earthquake at all. Supposedly there was one north of Rome and one around Bologna (which is closest to us). We didn't even feel it at all, although we were both awake at the time it happened. However, one of the volunteers at the USO lives in a 6th floor apartment and said he did indeed feel some shaking.

Thanks to everyone who has asked about how we were! My parents sent me some frantic emails this morning, so I didn't want anyone else worrying.

Oh..and if you haven't checked out the Venice pics, you can do so below.
