Project Runaway

We bloody well pulled it off! We are in fabulous crazy Rome!

We love British Airways! The travelling went very well. Very smooth and the connection at Heathrow was perfect. British Airways spoils you, even in Economy. Free booze, tons of food, wonderful and funny attendants, it was just excellent.

And the drugs! Just excellent also! I was VERY mellow and VERY unconcerned with flying I tell you. For the 2nd flight, I passed out before takeoff even! hee hee
Why the frick did I wait so long to take them?

We got in last night and went out for dinner and strolled around a bit. The town was hopping as the Barcelona vs Manchester football final was last night. Barcelona won and there was some rowdiness on the streets.

We went to a trattoria run by a little Nonna, where there is no menu. It is a set menu daily and you just get what you get. So we started with a plate of cold meats, tomato salad, cooked lentils (which were awesome), and 2 more other things I have no idea how to describe.

Then came the pasta course. The Nonna took a liking to Dwayne and seemed to figure out we were Canadian in seconds. She brought out a HUGE glass mixing bowl as Dwayne’s pasta bowl.

The whole restaurant was cracking up. Then came a veal dish, spinach dish, potato dish, etc, then came dessert with some kinda fruit juice in a shot glass.
It was a wonderful meal and the restaurant was a wonderful find.

Today we strolled around and tried our GPS. Luc was blown away by the Pantheon so far. Later today we are going to stroll to the Colosseum. The boys are on siesta right now as I catch up on email.

Some observations:

Everyone smokes, which is tough when we had informed our son that he was quitting as soon as he boarded the plane. On the upside for him, as there is so much smoking we all feel like we have smoked a pack just from the second hand smoke.

I have seen teens with their pants hanging low! eek it has followed here!

Italian men may be the most beautiful men in the world. Seriously.
