Once again...sorry for my lack of blogging (it's not that I don't want to, but it's hard to find the time!). Well, Parker and I made it to the states after a very long day flying last Friday and I think we're officially over jet lag! For those of you who don't know, I've come back home for about 6 weeks to help take care of my mom who was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We have a very strong family and are doing everything we can for her as she starts her treatments. I'll be happy to give more info if you want to call/email me, but for her sake of privacy, I'm just sticking to the bare information on the blog.

I did promise to tell more about all of our travels in January, so here it goes! While we were in Alberobello, we made a side trip on Jan. 2 to Fasano, Italy and went on a zoosafari! This was by far one of the coolest things we've done in Italy so far. We got to drive our car through the zoo and had lions and tigers walking next to our car. A giraffe, camel, and some zebras actually stuck their head in the car (Parker was not phased by this at all)! After driving through and seeing tons of animals (elephants, lions, tigers, bears, monkeys, camels, ox, moose, flamingos, and so many more), we did a walking tour of part of the zoo where we took a little train to see monkey village, polar bears, hippos, and a lot more! It was definitely something I'd love to do again if any of you want to come visit!

Parker and I on the train going around the park. He sure does look happy!
When we first drove into the zoo, we were forced to make our way through all these animals! It took forever since they kept coming up to the car and laying in the middle of the road!
Look how close you can get to the animals!
Introducing Parker to the zebra.
This is the first time I ever saw a rhino!
Monkey Village
Karl wasn't so excited about this guy making his way into his side of the car.
Luckily the camel didn't spit on us. Camels are much bigger than I thought they were!
Next blog- Ferrara, Italy!
