Rome to Portland

We woke up at 3am and walked from the Rome Hilton Hotel to Terminal #1.

We left Rome at 6:30am and then left Amsterdam at 9:50am.  We arrived back in Portland early, about 10:00am, the same day.  Then we found ways to stay awake to watch the 7:30pm Cal vs Oregon football game.

Amalfi Coast

Our driver picked us up at 9:00am and dropped us off at 5:00pm.

Wang signed the first Supply Agreement.
