Nice save,Hickey kids!

We were just saying this morning that if no one commented on our blog today, we were going to go on strike and not blog anymore until we got some comments! So,Annie and Tom," Good Job!", and everyone else's kids "Please, your Moms need to hear from you!" Yesterday we went to the old city, which was gloriousness everywhere,as we were saying, and then in the evening everyone was tired, so thye went to bed early except Mike and I(Judy) who were antsy to check out the Trevi Fountain at night. I also wanted one last capaccino. We are one block from the Metro, and it's easy to use, and we have week-long passes for public transit, so off we went. We saw the Spanish Steps loaded with huge pots of azaleas, and had a capaccino at a beautiful coffee bar, then to the Trevi Fountain. We realized that if we asked people where the Trevi Fountain was, they couldn't understand us, but if we put on the Italian accent and asked for the fontana de Trevi they got it. Really, it doesn't sound that different. I sort of don't get it. Today we met our friend, Father Richard Wallach(sp?) at St.Peters and he took us on a tour. Very interesting, and we managed to catch a small mass while there. Then we went out for a plate of pasta with him. Sat in a lovely cafe, outside and had wine and wondeful pastas and risotto to die for! Then they all had to wait for me to have a capaccino because I just knew it would be good. Came home after stopping at a gelato place. I had a coffee gelato and Ray had a nutella one. We put a load of laundry in at home and had a nap. Later perhaps we'll redo the Parthenon because it was closed last time we were there. There's certainly lots more to see....
