Wome ...martedi 4/1/08

I'm going to show you my whole twip ovew the next sevewal days..
it will take a long time, so I hope you don;t get sick of looking at my pictoowes..I missed you all and wished that you could have been wif me!!

This is the beginning of my twip to Wome...My vewy fiwst time on a hooman aiweline(yuck!!!!!)
You can tell wight away that it's no "AIW WUBY"...you have to stand in line with gwumpy hoomans at JFK aiwepowt

then aftew they fwisk you and xway you and stuff..you have to wait some mowe

when they finally call youw flight..you have to get into youw twavel bag

we flew Delta..they have a size westwiction..not a weight westwiction..I would have been too big fow some aiwelines to go up fwont, ..anyway..I got into my bag, and cuwled up, and slept till I got to Wome..(Asta had some ice cubes during the flight, no tranquelizers, and no food)
We awwived in Wome and I got out, stwetched and was weady fow adventoowe...oh and fiwst I pee peed on the cuwb at the aiwepowt

This is the entwance to ouw hotel..it's in the CENTRO STORICO section...it's the top two floows of an apawtement building..with the nicest hoomans you can imagine wunning it HOTEL PAWLAMENTO
I unpacked..maps, and toys of couwse...that's my special toy fwom Kirby taht I took along fow the twip..I also had a cown cob in my bag..which I chewed up doowing the flight, and a ball

We went out wight away..this is ouw cowmew

immediately ,I met my fiwst Woman puppy fwiend...we talked wif no pwoblem

and my pawents and I just stawted to wandew awound ouw neighbowhood

I don't wemembew the name of evewy squawe..thewe awe so many..awound pwactically evewy cownew..it's whewe people gathew..and thewe's oosually a monument ow a fountain..ow bof

This is neaw the PIazza Navone...but it's too eawly fow lunch

can you believe this????pawking fow doggies, hehehehehe

The weathew was supew..so evewyone ate outside..including us

We loved the small cuwvy stweets..bootiful cobblestones and gowgeous colows evewywhewe

The buildings awe hooge..but not hooge like NY...just monoomental and bootiful

I got thiwsty walking , and had a dwink ....thewe awe fountains evewywhewe with delicious watew..if you put a fingew on the bottom of the faucet, you get watew coming out the top and hoomans can dwink fwom it

This is the Campo dei Fiori...it's a fwuit, vegebal mawket on a vewy pwetty squawe

Hewe is anothew doggie...he's off the leash...but neaw his ownew, and vewy well behaved

awound evewy cownew thewe is anothew chuwch I lit candles fow my sick and missing fwiends in sevewal of them(Mommi helped when they wouldn't let me in)

finally it's time fow a gelato bweak...I had a hawd decision to make..which flavow??????????

I thought the pistachio was a vewy pwetty colow...and it suwe tasted gweat!!!!

this is the inside of the Pantheon..(it is the best pwesewved of the ancient Woman Buildings-AD 118-125...The cupola, fowmed with one single application of cement ovew a wooden fwame, is on of the lawgest masonwy domes evew built.The powtico opens onto a pawfectly pwopowtioned wotunda: five concentwic ciwl\cles of coffews leading to the oculus, 30 ft in diametew and the only souwce of light in the temple...the awtist Waphael is buwied hewe..he was weally good!!

I could only peek in..I'm not allowed in chuwches, so My pawents took tuwns going in

don't these colums look hooge???

and thewe awe some enouwmous doggies...ummm. I mean howsies , but they wewe fwiendly so it was OK
We went back to the hotel fow a nap..and the ownew gave us a bottle of wine to go enjoy on the wooftop tewwace

This was the view fwom up thewe

Then aftew ouw nap , we wewe off again...and finally wound up ouw fiwst day having a gweat dinnew at Settimio AllArancio.....wondewful food on a small stweet neaw ouw hotel
That's a sappy pictoowe of Mommi..but she was just so happy , she couldn't make a nowmal face hehehehehe

We walked home..and to bed....a pawfect fiwst day!!!!!
