Spent the morning looking up hotels to book for trips out of town, cooking classes for a trip to Orvieto this summer and looking at train vs air travel to Warsaw for a tour in July. We are thinking we will do the train and go a couple of days early. If we like the train, we can take one back to Rome or stop off in Brussels where I have a friend and go to Bruges also…then back to Rome. If we don’t like the train trip, we can fly to Rome.
At Noon, we met a dear friend at a great restaurant near our house. Bea and I met in Italian class at Richland years ago. She and her hubby moved to Killeen, but I got to see her in Dallas at a goodbye dinner before they moved to Tampa recently. Bea has been here in Rome a couple of weeks to welcome her second little Granddaughter who was born last Tuesday. Bea’s daughter has lived in Rome for 16 years and she and her husband have two year old Sophia and now new little Gwendolyn. It was so much fun meeting Bea in ROME! Maybe she can come back before the year is out. Hope so.
We are going to be in touch with her daughter and her husband works at a restaurant in Trastevere where we will eat soon.
Tonight we are having stuffed bell peppers and mushrooms simmered in white wine. Got to get that on the table, so will say Buona Notte – good night.
