• A Busy Day in Roma!

    May 12, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F

    Lots of things today! Started with a visit to an exhibition about Leonardo di Vinci. Pictures of many of his drawings and models made of many of his designs include machinery, cities even a design for what we would call a helicopter.
    Oh and you will a picture of the top of the library where I go before school to finish my homework. And yes I now have a Roma library card!
    Then on to Scuola (school).
    My school organized a visit to Domus Aurea right across from the Colosseum. Built around 64 AD for Emperor Nero. It was a palace that consisted of a series of buildings separated by gardens, vineyard. After Nero’s death his successors decided to erase most of what he built. Just a huge place. At the end of the tour there was an area that is setup for different performances over the next couple of months.
    A couple of pics included. No such that as a clothes dryer here. Had cleaning woman here today and you will see how we dry the laundry.
    I finished off the day with my first real home cooked meal. Fusilli w/ peas, chicken and spinach. Think I’ll sleep well tonight! 🤗🤗
