On Tuesday, we (me, the kids and Grandma) went to Rome, one last time. Pat hadn't seen the Vatican yet and I was more than happy to go. So off we went, using our train shortcut, beating the heat and the tourists...if feels good to be in the know for a change...
Gwendolyn and her chariot...
We found the Metro (the boys favorite) and then made our way to Piazza del Popolo (the people's square)...
With it's obelisk with hieroglyphics...just pretend it is a vertical pic...
On to the Trevi Fountian...you have to remember to throw in a coin...that way you will return to Rome...or as the legend goes. The boys relished this and even a sleeping Gwen (with mommy's help) managed to get one in...
I have to be honest, as far as things that tourists see, there is not much left in Rome that I haven't gotten to. Being so close and having a local train has been a highlight of our time here. Rome has been hot, gritty, and crowded at times, but we also have been able to see so much more of it! How people live here, what they like to do, and almost, be treated as a local. What an amazing experience that I am very thankful for.
Have a wonderful and cool day!
Ciao a tutti!
