The Sears took me to pick up Jeffrey at the airport. It was so good to see him, despite his beard. We dropped his back pack at the apartment, had a quick bite to eat and then we were off to see the sites. I called this whirl wind tour of Rome, my farewell tour. I had seen many of the sites we would see over and over again, but I still loved it and discovered new areas. The weather was perfect for the long, long walk we would do. The last thing we did that first day was a night tour of the Vatican.

| This is Julieta. She is an artist I met early in my mission. I could always find herat the bridge of three faces. I bought a few of her oil paintings and brought many to her as well. Jeffrey also bought a painting from her. |

| When I was in Assisi, I found these really neat spoons made from olive wood. I only bough two and immediately regretted not buying more. I searched everywhere for them. I was told I could find them in Calabria. But, nope. None there. Then, when Jeffrey came out of St. Peter's, I looked across the street and saw a small market. We decided to check it out, and there I found this man whose father makes spoons and bowls out of olive wood. Yeah, finally found them. Book Club ladies, these are for you! |
