Bon journo di Roma!
Everyone has gone in different directions this morning. Joanne went to the Vatican museum, the rest to Catacombs far far away, and I will attempt to glog, and wander around our area. Time is going so fast, tomorrow is a holiday and everything will be closed, so really this is our last day to get into any sites. This afternoon Mike and I will wander through the Botanical gardens, it is shaping up to be another glorious day. sorry to hear about snow there...kinda sucks hey.
Rome has turned out to be a charming sometimes intense and loud, sometimes quiet and quaint. By the end of the day we're finding that our throats are sore I think from the exhaust. ik. so wandering through the gardens will be refreshing!
We've found our restaurant! I think that if the locals and the police go there, it must be good. Both times we were there, these young hunka policemen come in for some food and beer, then off they go back to work, (so civilized).
The people here are gorgeous, olive skin, thick black hair, roman noses. no wonder the Romans loved beauty.
well my bellos i bellas, off to explore. We found the greatest market yesterday, vegetables, fish ( whole honkin' sword fish and such), the best walnuts, artichokes. mama mia!
Starting to look forward to Tuscanny. I said to Mike that if it was time to go home it feels like weìve had our holiday, and now Tuscanny feels like a whole new holiday. We are lucky.
Everyone is fine, Judy has many many bandages on her feet...but undaunted she goes on.
