We're Home

Our flights from Rome to Frankfurt and then home to San Francisco were on time and smooth. We took the San Francisco rapid transit (BART) from the airport to home where Stephen had Kayla and Ryan waiting to hug and kiss us. Anh was home cooking up a wonderful meal.

I think it may take a few days to get back into normal life and get some perspective on our adventure. We will add our final comments soon and more photos.
