Yes, cold AND snowy Rome is right. That meant, except for the first day, all monuments and museums were closed the entire time I was there. A lot of restaurants and businesses were, too, but, as you'll see, I found a few places to eat and drink. I mean, what else was there to do??
I did brave the cold with my daughter Cecelia the first day (pre-snow) and the last day (after snow) to make some outdoor sketches. I'll post them in a couple of days.

I met dear Concetta Flore early on the day it snowed. We got some sketching done and here is one of mine from that day. More to come.
Great sketches despite the weather. I hope you had a lovley time with your daughter.

Oh, no, Laura! So sorry you didn't get good weather to welcome you there. Your sketches are beautiful, just the same. I hope you get to head back there another time when the weather gods are cooperating.

I did wonder about the museums. They were also closed when it snowed when I lived there. I was hoping you would have had better luck with that.

You made a wonderful time of it in spite of obstacles! Looking forward to more sketches...and yep, looks like time for a new scanner. We're in the market too...

I'm DYING to see more Laura!
You should choose artichokes as a theme...
Guess what, forecast is snow tomorrow and all public offices and monuments will be closed- AGAIN- and Parks have been shut for fear of falling branches! We'll see...the sun was shining and it was 8° cent. today. I'll be out sketching if it snows again. Twice is un-be-lie-va-ble.
Good luck with the scanner.xxx
