Because I have been bragging about our perfect weather I feel compelled to admit we have had a wee bit of rain in the last couple of days. Here is an excerpt from the local news:
Rome was placed on heightened alert as torrential rain spread from northern Italy. Mayor Ignazio Marino advised residents to stay at home. Well, in spite of Mayor Marino's sage advice we decided to head off to the Borghese Gallery on foot. After all, those tickets are hard to get. I can't say we arrived dry, but after Dad removed his socks and rung them out in the gallery bathroom we were good to go. Being the only ones there for the guided tour we were able to enjoy the private attention of an art historian as she explained the incredible sculptures of Bernini. As you can see we, and Rome, have recovered from the weather. We decided it was a good day to take the bus over to church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin and tempt the Bocca della Verità. Did Dad tell the truth? Well, he managed to cook ravioli with ricotta and spinach with fresh pesto for super. But, did he make that amazing meal with one hand or two? You are Always in my Prayers. Love Mom. Fides et Veritas--faith and truth--Dolce Vita
