Best Tour Guide Ever

As Parker described it "Luca is a major baller!"  He definitely knew the inside secrets of Rome!  

(First road ever built!)

Fired everyday at exactly noon.  While all the churches may toll their bells at different times this cannon unifies everyone and is considered accurate.  After noon people used to take a 2 hour siesta from work but now it's more like 45 minutes.

Spanish steps turned out to be just steps.

Egyptian obelisk and Christian cross?  When in Rome!!! Rome was unique because it absorbed the cultures of the places they conquered and colonized.  

Dinner last night was AMAZING

Real authentic Italian!  Great service from this little place recommended to us.  So yummy!  We had pasta and shared a canola and tiramisu.  Waiting to be seated we were served: 

(Don't tell Dad!)  Italian drinking age is 16. ;). Didn't stop Parker.  Ppl always think he's older though.  One guy at the Charlotte airport asked if he was military! XP

We miss our Daddy!

He is going in to have minor foot surgery today!  We love him and are praying for him!  <3 <3 <3
