The Unforgettable Hustle and Bustle of Rome
|
We arrived a day early & found the busy streets easy to navigate. The people are friendly & there's history everywhere you look! We visited local landmarks & Payton led us through the catacombs. We met our tour-mates & our guides Matt & Travis. How privileged we are! Rick's tour of Rome was stuffed with all the highlights one could think of & we are astounded. Somebody pinch me! Meadow has eaten her weight in pizza 'puffs.' Thanks to Matt for literally going into traffic to fetch our bus & for Metro lessons. Thanks Travis for spotting a child in need of a cookie. It got Meadow through ancient Rome.
BTW gelato does live up to the hype! Ciao- Jen |
Tranquil Tuscany
Io amo la Toscana! I couldn't escape the gorgeous scenery. Wildflowers grew in the grass & I made flower crowns for the kids :) The pool was chilly but we swam anyway! It was exciting to assist in making a true Tuscan meal with the Chef. Yummy! I went to bed early because I was going to Florence the next day! Mom & Meadow stayed behind to catch up on some rest but I wasn't going to miss it! Florence was everything I thought & more. Artwork was everywhere! After catching our breath from climbing to the top of the bell tower we saw David...what a hunk! He was so detailed even down to his knobby knees! - Payton
