C'é neve a Roma!
There is snow in Rome! The mayor has cancelled school and my 7-year-old host brother, Dani, could not be more excited. He woke Colleen and I up this morning by running into our room, wielding an umbrella like a sword, and babbling away happily about snow. Unfortunately 'snow' here is what we in the North Country call a 'wintery mix'. It doesn't even stick to the sidewalk, which is crushing my dreams of skiing down the aqueduct.
Today we are going to the Musei Capitolini, to see a rare exhibit of Leonardo Da Vinci work alongside Michael Angelo's. I'm hoping they will have some of Da Vinci's notebook pages, and if they do, I'm taking notes on how to build a renascence helicopter. I have a feeling Dani's umbrella will come in handy in the construction.
