snow, snow, SNOW

Finally, winter has settled in. It didn't take long to convince the kids to suit up and head outside. After building and smashing 2 snowmen, we took a walk around town and threw snowballs at all our favorite shops, and then headed back to the yard to do donuts in the sled.

Turns out Luca is still contagious!

Ice Skating!

We battled through a few italian lines, struggled with some dull rental blades, but all in all, Luca's debut in ice skates was a success. He had a great attitude and thanks to Nonni Coletti, a nice new set of sharp blades! Plus you can't beat skating in the Palavela where they hosted the 2006 Olympic skating events, and mini coopers raced across the rooftop in The Italian Job

Enjoy!

a Roman New Year

The Eternal City, where the old mingles happily with the present, a delicious plate of Cacio e Pepe (noodles dressed with ricotta and pepper never fails to please, and pizza bianca dripping with oil straight from the oven is enough to keep you walking another several miles, because you never want to stop here. There's so much more to see, taste, and hear than there are hours in a day. That's while we'll be back, dear Rome.
