A lazy day in Rome

A lazy day in Rome!  Just about worn out from so many scheduled activities, decided today was a day of leisure. Really late breakfast, slow in deciding what we should do. Ryan took Annika and Theo to Campo di Fiori to walk around and see the area of town where Catherine worked and lived. Ron walked to the Via Condotti, Rome's most fashion street, with Elsbeth overlooking the Ponte Vecchio, Sofia and Bella to cruise the shops. They all came to lunch carrying Louis Vuitton and Guess handbags. They were thrilled to pieces as they showed off their gifts.  Hilary and Pat with their kids followed Ron, Ryan, Jeff and Pat and William to the Spanish Steps to hire mopeds for the afternoon. Ron, Patrick, Ryan, and Jeff with William behind spent most of the afternoon riding through the Eternal City.  I remember the times I've done that will Ron, and was glad to be more mature now. They came to the Minerve, I think to show off for us and probably for a breather. Michele and I spent the rest of the afternoon reading and watching  two different wedding parties leaving the church in front of the hotel. Beautiful and exciting. Had a wonderful lunch off the square. William had his 5th meal of penne arrabiata!!  Had gelato and Bella went shopping for art supplies. Loved her drawing journal.
