| From Mom and Dad T. in Roma! |
We introduced Mom and Dad Teague to Antica Osteria Ponte Sisto, a sweet little restaurant just around the corner from our apartment. I think we were there for at least two hours and ate some of the best food any of us have ever had!

The four of us checked out the Galleria Borghese and saw Bernini's David, among other famous (and beautiful) works of art!

We also spent a day wandering around the Forum with Christopher, our volunteer tour guide, pointing out important sites and architectural details.

Alanna came to visit about a month later! While Christopher worked on his project, she and I walked around Campo de Fiori together.

We decided to leave Roma for a short weekend trip to Sorrento and Pompeii, which made Alanna really excited.

Sorrento is known for its expansive lemon groves and lemon products (lemonade, limoncello liqueur, gelato, etc). The family that owns the grove we visited had actually grafted branches of orange trees onto lemon trees so that both fruits grow on one tree!

On our way to Pompeii, we had to ride the Circumvesuviana train, known for its pickpockets. The train was nearly empty, but we had to play up the situation anyway.
We had such a fabulous time entertaining our guests and are SO glad they could come! Mom, Dad and Alanna all have way more pictures than the few I took, so check out facebook for a more complete album of their Roman travels.
