You will BE THERE? Oh, what a wonderful trip. I have been wanting to be in Rome for Christmas, for Midnight Mass at St. Peter’s. Oh, have a grand time. First trip to Italy? You are in for a treat. I took an Italian phrase book, totally ruined the Italian (speak Spanish), and they kept saying, “Ah, bella, bella ...” (”Your Italian is so good.”) haha. I loved the Italians.
and the Italian FOOOOOOD. mmmmm.
Actually I am stationed in Sicily so it is a short trip. Just never was able to get up to Rome yet. Funny thing about the midnight mass. We must be there by 9 o’clock or we won’t get in. Yes three hours of saying the rosary, praying etc. I do love Italian food and culture and the people are great.
