Of course, once that was done it was time to eat. http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Italy_Shopping_07_08.html#0 600e6468-399d-4c7b-85da-f4125df2f066 http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Italy_Shopping_07_08_files/Media/100_0513.jpg?derivative=thumb http://www.mitchandshannon.com/shannon+mitch/Italy_Shopping_07_08_files/Media/100_0513.jpg?derivative=micro <div style="padding: 0px;
