I'm glad you enjoyed Puglia, and I hope you feel like going back some day, perhaps with a little bit more time to see lovely places like Lecce, Otranto or Gallipoli... <br />I'm sure you are having a wonderful time in Rome. It is the perfect city for strolling. I was there last september with three colleagues and 28 students. Whenever there was a free moment in our tight sightseeing schedule, we would send the young people off by themselves to make their own discoveries, and so would we grownups. In general, excursions are hard work for a teacher, but this one was pleasure from beginning to end.<br />So I wish you two more wonderful days and a safe trip home.Eleonorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-68843701130480125092014-06-27T13:12:28.391-07:002014-06-27T13:12:28.391-07:00The joy in this post, although tinged with a littl...The joy in this post, although tinged with a little anxiety, is palpable. Warmth and beauty. Enjoy the last two days in Rome, wandering. Our daughter and SIL said that of all the European cities they've visited, Rome is their favorite.

I highly recommend Gelateria del Teatro ai Coronari - truly the best gelato I have ever had.

And times in years past when we gathered at my mother's place in Santa Barbara, with Swedish step-siblings, the joy of us all together.<br /><br />But back to you:).
