stay in rome...as long as you can...you will not want to leave...
so anyways, this is us: in front of the trevi fountain, making our wish (can you guess what it is?) and what you can't see is the hundreds of people crammed in next to us, doing the same. i know, i know: i was that person!! can you believe it? i was a bit suprised at myself, and greg rolled his eyes, but i rolled with it, and had no shame in doing the touristy self-portrait with my cell-phone. hence, it is blurry and dark. it is not a great photo. there is even another person in it. but it still caught the rare moment of the three of us, together, and it captured the memory.
we can say: "remember that time when..." and we are all included in the inside joke. we can laugh at the memory, and we were all there. no one left out.
and now when francis complains it is hot outside, i can rightly say: "what??!! are you kidding me? this is NOT hot. you have seen hot. remember that time in rome when you clung to inches of shade, moaning: "how many degrees hot is it?" now THAT was hot!..." and then i freely laugh at him. (ok ok, WITH him!)
ah, rome: missing it already.
so that's it for now...
one photo, one snippet...
stay tuned, more to come...

Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!! What fun you guys had! I cannot wait to read more snippets. :D
One day, we hope to take the kids on the trip 'round Europe Stuart and I took in 1994. Might be awhile away yet, but it would be fun to share our memories with them!!
Glad you're back safe and sound and that you enjoyed your trip!!!
i love the darkness of that photo...and the inside jokes...i'm finding that we are experiencing the inside joke thing on this trip too...it's kinda fun having kids who can laugh at themselves and share in the fun, huh?
