Ahhhhhhh!

Well, I am in a much better place now!! Pat and Fabio retrieved me at the airport and drove me to the apartment in a black Mercedes!! The apartment is lovely, modern yet quaint with European touches. As some of you saw on Facebook, we had gelato for lunch because it was so hot, ten back to the apartment so I could rest my ailing bacl and swollen legs! Dang!! It's hell to get old! we hung around the apartment during the heat of the day and then went out around 5 to eat - we got sidetracked by S. Maria degli Angeles - breathtaking - I am posting pictures! we ate in the Piazza della Repubblica. Both of these location are a stone''s throw from our place. now I am trying to stay up and get on Italian time (6 hours ahead of US)
