Today is our last day in Rome.. Up at six thirty, packed/checked out and walking before eight. We don't have a particular goal in mind, but the weather is beautiful so we'll probably spend most of the morning outside. The only time constraint is our shuttle to the airport at two pm. We walk past… Continue reading a last walk around Rome
Since I had posted my journal of yesterday before we went out for dinner, this is an extra short piece about the delicious food. Normally I don't make such a fuss and stick with just a few adjectives, but this was unusual enough to merit a bit more space. It was only a fifteen minute… Continue reading extra: organic/vegetarian
Oops, forgot to put an alarm. Even so, we're up at half past seven and out just after eight. We take a general aim east and start walking, keeping an eye out for a good spot for breakfast. It's cloudy, but not actually raining, though most people have rain jackets on or carry umbrella's. It's… Continue reading Popolo, Barberini & Rinascenze

We wake up early, not surprising since mom fell asleep around eight pm yesterday and I about an hour later. We have breakfast at seven… Continue reading Musei Vaticani
I haven't quite figured out yet what the best blog format is for a city trip, I'm thinking that just a list of stuff we've visited might get boring, but on the other hand I want to be able to read in ten years time what we've done, so I guess there's no way around… Continue reading around Piazza Navona
My mom and I are finally visiting Rome! My husband visited it in high school, so did one of my sisters, but for my mom and I it just didn't happen before. So now we've simply decided to make a city trip out of it to see the famous roman buildings, visit the Vatican city… Continue reading to Rome
