Rome - Thursday, 22 September

A very lovely, lazy day in Rome.  Our first sleep in. Very happy with our hotel! I called my sister, Georgina (or P), around 9:00am.  After dropping her children off at school she came over to surprise my girls, and we wandered back to her beautiful home in Piazza Farnese - literally 5 minutes from our hotel.

We met Milena (mother-in-law) very briefly, and then spent the day with P and her children, Alberto and Mila.  Very lazy day and a lovely break from all of our running around.  Lunch and dinner all together (and with Federico, home from work) and then home late.  Really lovely to finally see where P is in Rome, and get a feel for a day-to-day life here. 

Gorgeous day.  Tobes arriving tomorrow.  Meetings with friends living in Rome over the coming days all coming together, plus some site-seeing to be done - a few busy days ahead!
