aahhhhhh, roma! after an incredibly peaceful 10 day journey meandering around the countryside & seaside, was i ready for your bustle, for your traffic, for your myriad of choices? why yes, i believe i was! we frequented our favorite bars (& for those of you who don't know, that's not the same thing as a 'bar' in the US!)...
a cappuccino in the morning (bar trevi)...
a spritz in the afternoon (bar cento passi)...
fueled by fabulous italian food...
we were on the move non-stop...
new pathways (climb inside St. Peter's dome)...
glimpses of mystery...
attention to detail...
new views (thanks, christopher~~
castel sant'angelo)...
moments to reflect...
moments to look beyond...
sacred moments (
Corpus Christi procession with Pope Benedict)...
moments where the ordinary and the sacred met (
roma's FSSP parish)......
a certain slant of light...
new sounds...
new clarity...
& hopefully~~ a return!...
roma never disappoints! after 2 weeks of language lessons, a break in the middle to visit florence (that's another 'snapshot' post!), sending Baby Girl home, sending D. & Big Bro home, & greeting our eastern european adventure contingent, we were all-too-soon saying arrivederci, roma! roma, giugno, 2009

Hi Deb, yes, I'm still around, just not blogging as much.
Thanks so much for sending an occasional message. I think of you often off on your travels and your wonderful family adventures.
Enjoy every moment!!! It seems that you do.
