Hello from Rome

Hi everyone, we arrived in Rome this afternoon after another early train ride. We still cant get over the nice place we stayed in in Florence. Though it was too early for breakfast, the owner made sure we had freshly made cappucinos before leaving at 730 this a.m. Lovely train ride and now we just got back from seeing the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, heading back to our apartment. Its roomy for a small 3 bed unit, but its dark without the lights, the windows are barred and open up to an alley we think, though you cant really tell. We call it the dungeon. Were next to the owners bathroom and expect to hear some interesting sounds coming from there. Were having way too many laughing fits.

Judy and Maureen and pretty much behaving themselves, so you dont need to be too concerned about them. Maureen, however, has taken a liken to grappa so were going to make sure she doesnt buy a bottle and start with her late night singing. Judy refuses to try for Amazing Race with us after our 2 weeks stint so far. No sense of direction? Bad feet? Mark, youll have to try out with her.

Hope everyone there is fine, looking forward to seeing you soon. Toodles.

Annie

Daisy says: Well, Annie, Judy has long ago voted me off of her "amazing race" list, too.... and Mark has NO sense of direction we have found, while Joe "tells" us he is right ... so ... I don't know ... Sheila ... can you help Judy out as a partner for Amazing Race??? :)

I can't keep up w/ Judy -- she left me trailing 5 blocks behind her in Georgetown... Of course if there is bus service wherever the Amazing Race is, then I'll think about it.
