Today Adrian and Fabio had to drive to Genoa in Northern Italy to pick up a car so Chris and I had the day to ourselves. We slept in and then took the bus to the City Center. All of the postcards/pictures of the Spanish steps show it covered in flowers but I've never actually seen this. Today, there were flowers!
We happened to stumble on some sort of ceremony, we still can't figure out what it was but we're guessing that it was some sort of ring in the spring deal. There were soldiers with flags and a full marching band playing all sorts of festive tunes.
After the ceremony we wandered up to Villa Borghese for one of our favorite Roman past times - I creamed Chris at Peanut :) Then it was back to the condo where we made ourselves dinner and found a movie on in English. Next I have to go pack because it looks like we're coming home tomorrow. Delta added an extra flight to the schedule tomorrow so we might even have a chance at first class! It leaves at noon so we'll see. It would be really crazy to end up coming home only at day late after all that's happened.
