Almost there . . .

Who knew that 10 minutes of rain in Chicago would delay us by . . . a lot? We got delayed in Chicago by about 3 hours, then missed a connecting flight in Munich.

Ah, the joy of international travel!

So now we're hanging out in Munich for about 6 hours. We'll leave here around 9:30 p.m. and get to Bologna late tonight.

Since we haven't provided you with a group photo yet, here is one of us in Munich.

It's really not as bad as this picture makes it look. We're bonding over German food and getting to know each other much better. Plus, this just makes us even more excited to get to Italy and do the work we're here to do.

More tomorrow . . .
