I had their family photo, and they had mine as you can see above. I was very happy, and it was great fun that I got a connection to my Dubai voyage. That day was a whole day with walking through some important parts of the Vatican. There were a lot of people, and I sometimes lost my group, but then I found them again. Plenty of beautiful frescos, marbles etc so I needed time to make my own reflections. I thought about my mother and that gave me some peace and harmony. I will from now on watch the pope on TV every year at christmas and remember her.

I liked Rome, maybe because it was easy to talk to the Italiens. We have common interests like cooking, dogs, history, culture etc. They liked my cooking photos, especially the risotto, and the pizza made them smile. Moreover, I like that when I go by taxi I can talk to the driver, and they are very proud since they know a lot about their own history. Roald Amundsen was mentioned, since he was connected to Rome in one way or another. I have to read more about him, and maybe someone can send me a comment if you have any more information. He was an adventurer, and he actually came from Fredrikstad-Sarpsborg in Norway where I have lived for four years. Interesting.

Dogs are very popular in Rome. I met several. I showed them my sweetie, and they had my photo. Ending today’s blogging by showing you “Sporty”. Dogs are different, and this dog really was sporty. So much energy and always on the go. Like my sweetie.
