roman holiday

“What if lightening came in the hole?” asked Stefan as we all gaped at the circle of blue sky and shaft of light coming into the Pantheon. We can step outside and there is the whole sky, clear and blue; why is that circle of sky and shaft of light so awe-inspiring?

The Romans don’t want to put away the furs, so they are still wearing coats. It’s not that cold, but a little chilly for Stefan to be in flip-flops, the only shoes we brought for him. I wanted to get him some 1930’s looking high-top t-straps, but he would not go for it. So his new shoes are more modern, they have a wing-tip design I like, and he says you can run as fast as Spiderman in them. So we are all happy.

Now it’s teatime. We are back in the room, trying out the new chalkboard and markers and tiny parking lot for toy cars, waiting for Peter to get home and tell us about his day over pizza.

    Lovely view out that window. Be sure to have some ‘tortellini ala crema’ in my memory. Very low cholesterol . . . NOT!

    I think the scarf makes the room…or maybe it is the other way around! Hope you are loving Rome.

    It sounds so divine, though Peter’s description of the plane ride did not. I can’t stop laughing about how he wrote on the air sickness bag. And the tear in the wine (well, that’s not making me laugh, just sad that Sirianna and Eila are leaving). You guys are the best and we miss you in Niamey where it is at least 106 degrees. Have lots more adventures for us too, okay?!
