Experiences of a lifetime...

So today, along with seeing maybe THE most beautiful statue every carved (Apollo and Daphne, by Bernini - literally so beautiful it almost made me cry), we also ate gellato with Prime Minister Berlusconi (well - he walked out of his car and into his office surrounded by security guards, policemen and the press about 10 feet in front of us while WE were eating our gellato), sang with Hare Krishnas while walking by the Pantheon, and talked with real-life communists (we asked the people in the communist party office for directions to a restaurant we were looking for).  Man, if that's not providing our children with a vast array of life experiences, I don't know what is!

Hare hare, krishna krishna (we still all have that song in our heads!)
