My very best friend from Houston, Emily, came with her oldest daughter, Claire, to spend Christmas with us this year. Emily is awesome. Not only did she fly halfway across the world to some see me, she was even willing fly into Geneva in the morning and hop back on a plane to fly to Rome that very afternoon. Jet lag and everything. But one would not have even known.
When we got into Rome that night I was thrilled to find that I had totally scored on the lodging. I had booked for us at a monastery with the sweetest nuns and the coolest room.
We sent Daniel out to forage for food. He did well.
It even included free breakfast in front of the Christmas tree.
We started our first real day in Rome at the Colosseum. It was awesome, although I never could convince Jonas that he wasn't going to see a guy fighting a lion. I think he was a little disappointed at the end.
Jonas playing the emperor. Will he let the gladiator live...?
Apparently he was feeling generous that day.
Next we headed to the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum
Then Capitol Hill
Followed by gelato at the Pantheon
Unfortunately Jonas slept through it.
But he got his own gelato later. He was especially excited about the little cone.
We leisurely made our way to the Trevi Fountain.
Then we found a nice little place for dinner on our way to the Spanish steps.
At the Spanish steps.
It was a great and full day!
