Carnival was this last week and we spent some quality time in the streets throwing confetti with the Italian kids. We aslo went to Florence last Sunday on the train and we walked down to where we went to church last time and it had been moved so we were out of luck but we made the best of a rainy day and spent some time exploring and took the 2 hour train ride back home. James took Jacob with him on their field trip on Wednesday down to TARQUINIA, which is on the coast bellow Rome. With Jacob gone and only 2 kids it enable me to make a trip to the grocery store which entails a 10 min walk to the tram and then a tram ride down the hill and a 10 minute walk down to town to the grocery store which is the biggest one within about 100km radius and is the size of about a McDonalds. Then I pile everything in my stroller and to it all again. I love it though, Sally thinks it is fun because she gets to go on the Tram so it is all worth it.

Talk to you soon!

Ciao bella! Looks like you're having a great time. I am, as usual, impressed with your "go-get 'em" style. Eat some gelato for me and no, I haven't found any cheap airfare to italy yet.
