Flights went well and on time once I left 7 lbs of fashion with Melissa. Thank you for taking me in Melissa . Uber ‘taxi’ would not of worked under the circumstances.

We have had perfect weather each and everyday since arriving! Sunny and 70. Walked what we hope is our butts off most everyday!

Day One – was a success until 2:40 AM when I hear a knock on my door. It’s Leslie showered, dressed, and full makeup ready to go to Sabina, Leslie was still on pacific standard time telling me I overslept.  Well anyone who knows me well, knows that overslept and my name are not usually used in the same sentence. We both go  back to bed.  More sleep please.

We get up again (at the correct time) to take the metro, to a train station,  take a hour train ride, to bus station to meet homeowner for our December house sit in Sabina, Italy.

She takes us to the village and her gorgeous home. Olive groves all over the property at the top of a hill. She orients us to the house and takes us through the village where we determine we will be the ‘village idiots’ for the month of December.

We had a full day and we’re pretty proud when we finally reached Roma in the evening,  We did it, even though we were out of our comfort zone!!!!

Day Three – Thursday we get on the metro with two 15 year old girls pushing us and as it turns out they unzipped my purse and were about to pic pocket me. Haha…find something in my purse?!  You are kidding me, that is impossible for even me!  Leslie sees what is happening and pushes them off the train about 3-4 feet in the air.  They landed with their middle finger saluting Leslie. We then continue to Vatican and Sistine Chapel.  As usual our journey was in typical fashion.  Lost in a foreign county…9 miles later we we find our place.  We never seem to travel in a straight line, but this is also why we find wonderful places and people I guess

Day Four – We then venture out on Friday to find we are literally steps from the Spanish Steps and have a super-duper day roaming Rome.  Ending our day on our rooftop garden viewing the sunset and lights of the city as Halloween is starting to roll out on the streets. So, we have enjoyed our stay and it is noteworthy that the tall dark and handsome men of Rome have been very nice to us.  We have seen so much in so little time!   Maybe it’s the coffee!  Or pastries that have keep our energy up?   Well I close with thoughts of my daughter Melissa who has been left to move my stuff tomorrow.  Happy Halloween!!!!
