how sweet it is...after sleeping almost the *entire* flight & waking to a sunrise over the french alps...
landing at fiumicino to a rainbow (no photo ops for that one...all baggage in the overhead bin & seatbelt securely fastened, you know!), we are settled into the bel paese...happily enjoying that first cappuccino!...
ambling around those familiar places we love...
attending the first vespers of Advent with Pope Benedict at the Vatican...
& capping the evening at a lovely dinner at
la pace del palato with some dear friends...today we are in exploration mode until Mass for the first Sunday of Advent with Cardinal Hoyos & dinner with
jp & friends.

Dear Deb, What a stirring beginning to Advent you have had. How long will you be travelling this time around?
Deb, ur photos are the most artistic! Ben tornata!
Wish I were "arriviamo a roma!" too. So, how many times to San Crispino's so far? I knoooow you've been there... I'd like a small grapefruit & chocolate... opps, just a little daydreaming.
Why do I feel oddly homesick? Wishing you and LM love and laughter as you roam around Roma!
Oh yes, I'm drooling at that, one of my favorite morning views, out the window of that big bird in the sky, over the alps, about an hour out of landing someplace that I love.
You and I have to coordinate.
Ciao for now.
