Hi everyone! I am still having a great time! Back here from Siricusa, Sicily with its magnificent ruins from the 600BC era…met people from all over. In Rome here for 2 nights…R&R…then tomorrow morning, by Trenitalia 2 hrs. SE to Cassino. I have arranged to rent a car there & at about 10:30 am I should be in the homeland towns of grandparents for the next 2 or 3 days! I called Connie Ricchiuti & she is expecting me & will calm me down & show me around. The weather has been perfect (except rainy in Sicily)…beautiful day here! I absolutely love Rome! I am in an Internet Phone Center which is quite common here. Last night, I stayed in a room with 3 Japanese kids…they communicated in Japanese & I accused them of talking about me. They laughed & said they would tell their mothers that another mother watched over them while here in Rome! Right now, I am sitting between 2 Australian guys who look like they partied too hard last night. Well, my next task is trying to download my pictures onto my flashdrive…I have taken so many & have yet, so far to go! Must keep organized & not lose anything…that would be my worse nightmare. I am being very careful! I hope you are all well & enjoying my travel blog. I will do some mailings today…mail here is very, very slow. So, take care & buon journo! Ciao, ciao de Italia! Mom/Donna
