A LITTLE TASTE OF ROME

Saturday afternoons, things get a little quieter on the temple site so we took the bus downtown and walked around town some. Here are a few pictures of "LIFE" in Rome.

A street downtown near the Pantheon. :)

 Per Il Mio  Insegnante :)

This is David talking with Andrea. Andrea is the contractor's representative on site. He pretty much runs the site! Great guy!

David and Domenico. His guys made him a tag like David's. David thought it was funny, but I didn't really get it... :) Just for fun!!

Next time I have a couple of stories to tell, out of time for now...... we send love to all.

A Walk to the Pantheon

A Walk To the Pantheon

The other night, Ramon, one of the project managers, and his wife , took us downtown to see the Pantheon.  They kept saying, " You're not going to believe it, you're not going to believe it." They were right... we couldn't believe it!! My jaw dropped and didn't get back to normal until we were walking back to the car. It's massive and so beautiful. We just couldn't believe it! This is the only picture we have, but we will take more next time.

We're getting used to the site and still aren't sure what kind of pictures we can post...  here is one of David and Ramon going through something on the plans.  When the weather gets better and when we get a car.... we will get out and get some more pictures. For now we are a little office and house bound :)  We have learned to walk a lot  and it's really quite OK!

A wonderful Italian sister in her most charming kitchen... she just made dinner for 16. When I commented on her wonderful kitchen she said... "E tropo piccolo"... It's too small... We women!!

          Her son in law(on the right). They share the same house... daughter and son in law, and family live in one side,
mom and dad live in the other side with the"charming"kitchen in the middle. They say it works out "Happily".

                                                      

Snow in Rome for the first time in 28 years!

They don't know what to do with it either! The mall closed down, the freeway closed down, no one came to church except all of the missionaries and the Bishop. We couldn't even get money from the "Bancomat" :)
 In the middle of the night we heard a bunch of noise and thought a fight had broken out. It was just a bunch of Italian guys in the parking lot having a snow fight and laughing their heads off.

Missing this little girl!!

  and this little skeleton!

                    

We do have warm water and heat now!! And just in time! So no worries.
