Mom, I can smell the jasmine already!

I conditioned Leona that Italy smells like the jasmine we have growing in our garden. And it does, there is jasmine growing everywhere here.  As we were descending into the Rome airport and Leona was looking out the window she announced, “Mom, I can smell the jasmine already.”

 

The girls did great on the plane and on our first day.  We all immediately got adjusted to the time. I can’t believe it.

Today we went to the town of Spoleto.  It’s a beautiful day (sunny and 78 degrees) and we seem to be the only tourists. We sat out at a cafe in front of this beautiful cathedral which was built in 1200.  The town sits high on a hill and parts of this walled city date back to 200 bc. Unbelievable!
