Roman Drinking Fountain

Rome, Italy

I was off on a walk and look what I found, a Roman drinking fountain, in Italian a nasone or a fontanella.  I was so excited that I had to show my family, so I made a video.  We all laughed as I put my finger under the running water to have the stream of water come out, it did, and it hit me in the face.

Cerveteri, Italia

When we were in Italy in 2005 we met up with our friends, Remo & Arianna at a delicious restaurant. As I got out of the car I could see the sun was setting, so I ran across the street to get this photo. LOVE it!

After a fun day of seeing the sights in and around Lucca we went to Francesco and Paola’s for homemade pizza.  I put my feet up and RELAXED as I waited for the fire to get hot enough.  By the way, the pizza was DELISH!

Wall of Lucca

After a long, but great drive from Zagreb, Croatia, we made it to Lucca, Italy. Lucca is the birthplace of Craig’s grandfather. Lucca has an ancient wall, (completed in the 13th century) that surrounds it’s historic center, like all cities of it’s time, but this is one of the best preserved in Europe.  In the 1800’s, the top of the wall was planted with trees and grass turning it into a huge park, it is a pleasant place to walk or ride a bike and it is the only wall in Europe where a car can drive all the way around the top of it. Lucca was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC.

We had a fun day with our friends, Enrico & Letizia Consoli! They took us to a pretty little village, Piediluco. Upon returning to their home they told us to relax, so I did!

Drizzly Day

It was a wet drizzly day in Merone, Italy, but that didn’t stop us! We drove to Como to find a friend we hadn’t seen in years. We weren’t sure if we’d find her, if the phone numbers we had would work. The first one didn’t but the second one did! She was as excited to hear from us as we were excited that we found her! She invited us to her home and we had such a nice visit! As we left, I ran up the stairs to look out a window, hoping for a view of Como and I found it! ENJOY!

We left Guidonia and drove to Poggio Nativo, we used our GPS and we went via the country all the way. It was beautiful! And then when we left Poggio Nativo it also took us by way of the country. We had a wonderful trip through the countryside of Italy!

It rained while we ate lunch together so, when we went outside everything was fresh with the moisture from the rain!

Hadrian’s Villa

As we walked thru this part we were walking on tiny marble tiles and they were very, very old, possibily pre-Christ. WOW, imagine!

Castel Sant’Angelo

CastelSantAngeloRome, Italy – 2016 – iPhone

We decided to take a walk thru Rome. We walked along the Tiber River and saw some beautiful sights! Castel Sant’Angelo was built by the Emperor Hadrian as a tomb for he and his family in 134 AD. His ashes were placed here a year after he died in 138 AD. In later years it became a fortress for Popes. Today it is a museum.

Roman Drinking Fountain

Rome, Italy – 2016 – iPhone

Rome has drinking fountains all over with fresh, delicious water running from them. If you put your finger under the spout, water comes up and out of a hole allowing you to drink the water. It is so refreshing on a hot day or just a perfect day of walking around Rome!
