Thanks for leaving a comment about you...Ciao Lindy!<br />Thanks for leaving a comment about your location in Lazio. I do know that we will probably arrive (we are driving) in Rome late Friday night, October 12th. At that time we are going to take a shuttle (from our hotel near the autostrada outside of Rome) into Rome to explore ristoranti. The next day we have tours booked and we will be in Rome on Sunday for a half day before departing for the Amalfi Coast. I know that schedules are difficult to coordinate, and so this is what I can give you at this time. <br /><br />About the Dragon Boat race . . . this is something totally new to me! I am so happy that you are able to enjoy all of the festivals so that you have new excursions and outings to enjoy! Thank you for sharing these special times!<br />Roz | La Bella Vita Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213914189813413673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764019643275791818.post-48033873349067561612012-08-27T12:41:48.232+02:002012-08-27T12:41:48.232+02:00Oh, I love Dragon Boat races!Oh, I love Dragon Boat races!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
