We have planned our trip to Rome and made our hotel reservations for the week. We will also be going to Florence and Orvietto.
Friday night Sam and I went out and about. We ate at T.G.I. Fridays. It was wonderful to eat a hamburger and fries! We shopped at the underground mall for bags for our London trip. I bought a backpack. I can pretend to be backpacking across Europe when I use it. I showed Sam where the English bookstore is and we bought a travel book on Rome.
Saturday morning Isobel, Barb and I hired a driver to take us to the Embassy so we could buy American food at the commissary. What a truely wonderful thing American food is!
In the afternoon we went downtown to meet up with Suzanne and Sam. We went for coffee and then walked around exploring. We went to the French bakery for bread. We passed lots of designer shops on the way and Suzanne and I swooned over some of the womens clothing and accessories in the windows. We also laughed at some the clothing; who the hell would wear something so ugly?! We decided we have too much taste to be rich.
We walked up to the House of Krimea and I got more pictures. I will post them on Monday.
We went to dinner at our favorite place for salmon. It is poached in foil with a mix of vegetables. It is fabulous!!! The hostess now knows us and automatically directs us to our favorite table. We had lots of fun and laughed till we cried. (Ukrainians look at you funny when you enjoy yourself.)
Today our Stitch and Bitch group is getting together at the Pera-Coles.
Wednesday evening I am having dinner at my place for our group.
