We conquered Rome

ROME -- Six Americans purportedly from Oklahoma conquered Rome today when a little two year said "why?" so many times the Italians capitulated and promised to let her rule a new Roman Empire. Film at 11.

Our internet connection hasn't been that good the last couple of days, so we haven't posted anything in a while (and can't upload pics just right at the momento). But, we're all alive and feasting well on pasta and pizza. In fact, we're heading for a pizzaria right now in San Guistino Valdarno.

Hannah: (She said she liked rocks in Rome and brought one back from the Roman forum) (Don't tell the Carbinari, please).

Hunter: "The colloseum (liked the best). Rome rocks!"

Alex: "Rome is always cool. I'm hungry".

Eric: "Our tour guide was interesting." (Hunter: "We are about to die!", she said.)

Elizabeth: "I liked the water fountain I could rinse my feet with and drink out of at the same time (in the Roman forum); and when Hannah started walking on her own and I didn't feel like I had a 30 pound "rock" on my hip."

Mike: "Rome is an example of good urban planning. Unfortunately, that empire thing just didn't work out. Hear that Mr. Bush?"

OK....we're going to the pizzaria.

Sounds fun - not sure I like the idea of drinking from the same fountain my feet are in, though...

BTW - Hunter made the newspaper... again. We saved it for when you get back :)

Trust me...when it's about 100 degrees and you're surrounded by 2,000 year old granite and gravel, you don't think about anyone's feet except your own. Rome was hot yesterday.
