The day was full of laughter, sun and hats. No long walks. From somewhere in the past my back has kicked up. So it's just me and my Canon pacing the Campo in the morning. It is somewhere around 8:00 here and the light is wonderful for pictures, low, bright and brilliant. someday I'll stop, but for now just a few more shots to add to my collection.
Giulia has joined me with Sandro's daughter, Valeria. They are loaded with reading material. A multi-lingual Vogue for Giulia, stickers at the beach for Valeria while I sit and write. It was the start of the trend of the day...multi-generational And, one of the more quiet moments as well.
A lot of the afternoon was spent "knocking down" Fabrizio's stand. Like I have mentioned, it is a daily thing, Set-up in the morning, a few hours of sales and mayhem followed by the even harder knock down period. It is more difficult because the clients (tourists) seem to smell blood and start to swarm around the kiosk looking for "deals".Today we were trying to finish up quickly because we were headed to Fabrizio's home for the evening. We finally completed the task.
Van loaded we head home. The trip to and from work is always against the traffic and takes up to an hour depending on accidents and bottlenecks. There is a sixth gear on the knob, but it has never been used. If Fabrizio ever gets to put the van into sixth gear he will probably find that it will jam on old lost hats.
After the usual tour of the house we got back into the generational thing with Nonna (Marina) playing goalie to Nicholas the forward. She was really trying to protect the food! Fabri and I talked about art...not soccer. I did my best to explain the difference between the two english words, house and home. I hope my answer worked, it's not from the dictionary. A home has love, you dwell/reside in a house. The best line I've heard is, "a home is where your heart is"!
This is where I fail horribly at being Italian, supper is served. I can not even begin to keep up. Poco is supposed to mean, just a little...they thought I said (was) loco and we all know the meaning of that. A wonderful evening with Nicholas fighting sleep in my arms as we watch an Italian version of Yogi bear on tv.
Gelato...sempre gelato!
Now the ride back into the city. No traffic as we ride along the via Appia and by the walls enclosing the city...15 minutes now.
Last, in 1945 the GI's left Rome and went back to the states...WHY?
This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.
Oh my goodness! Awesome article dude! Many thanks, However
