Roman Holiday


Sarah and Virginia

Here are the pre teenager best buddies, Sarah and Virginia, in Rome 2 weeks ago.

My very good friend, Cristina and her husband Jacopo, took these cuties to Rome. I did say she is still my good friend? Sarah and Virginia, by the looks on the photos, had a smashingly good time. Click to see the evidence.

Sarah loved Rome and really took in all the history and culture. For school kids to see Rome could be compared to kids in the United States going to Washington DC or Williamsburg, Virginia. DC, like Rome, is the US capitol, and full of important museums and government buildings. Williamsburg VA, is a replica of life during colonial times. In contrast, Rome, it is a modern living city, yet you are surrounded and immersed in its history. You can feel like you are in the times of the gladiators, you can still order your cappuccino and brioche in style, even shop at Prada and Dolce and Gabbana and not be stuck in some theme park by Anheuser-Busch with all the tackiness that comes with it. Don't get me wrong. I love the USA, but, give me real city not a theme park. I like my history raw baby!
