Monte Romano...

Tuesday, I was surprised by my most wonderful husband...he was able to come home early and we went exploring on a Tuesday afternoon!!! Here are some pics of the kids in the backseat of our 'sports car'...it's a good thing we left the car seats at home...they wouldn't have fit! There are only 2 seat belts back there! At least the kids are small...
I can't even back up enought to get all 3 in the pic...

Monte Romano is an interesting town...it is small (really SMALL, even for MT standards)...upon reaching the town we come to a stand still...stopped traffic about 1/2 mile out of town...is it an accident, herds of animals, did they just close the road...no...there is a one-way tunnel to get into town! In this picture you can see the tunnel in the lower left hand corner...



A fun fountain...
We stopped for gelato...I got the chocolate flavor (talk about rich!)...Clayton's was kind of like a chocolate chips in vanilla flavor...


Another great fountain...Fontana del Mascherone...Fountain of the Mask...


Then we continued north and drove through the town of Vetralla...it is a neat little town that I highly recomend driving through...the streets are crazy, narrow, hilly...the best!

I hopefully will get to the next post this afternoon!
Ciao a tutti!
