Last day in Rome. Wanted to shop, eat and relax. The girls were dying to buy a parasol all week, so when we got to the Spanish Steps we were in luck. There were several men selling them They couldn't decide on a colour. Meanwhile, I'm holding a green one (haven't paid) when the street vendor flees and a cop walks up to me and tells me it's illegal for them to sell them. Agh! It was utter chaos. What do I do with the green parasol? I totally thought the street vendor was going to come after me to pay for it, so we hid in a camper store. Expensive hide-out, because Chris bought another pair of shoes. (Yesterday,we hit the Gente' outlet and found him red Prada runners. What has become of Chris?
Walked in +37 heat back to our hotel and did laundry. (after we got locked out of our room)
Then we ate at Cotto. Chris had a filet. I had lamb chops. The kids shared risotto. Arrivederci Roma!
