DAY CLXXII Poli, poli, di umbuendo


Viena has a sore throat and a small cold. Ezra and I walked to a hidden playground on the hill … slowly but surely.
Viena has a sore throat and a small cold. Ezra and I walked to a hidden playground on the hill … slowly but surely. Ezra and I went on our own adventure today to discover and explore another playground around Trastevere. First though, we had to visit the Basilica in Trastevere. Ezra of course goes straight to the candle offerings. The reason this was a guys day out was that Viena is not feeling well and so she is staying home from Romeschool today. Ezra and I had no trouble locating a store with a 75 cent popsicle or the church or the park. Ezra is a much stronger walking the farther he walks away from Dwana. I heard the playground was located somewhere in a park. I was about to head off when I heard Ezra scream “Playground!” and he started running. A real playground, with real toddlers, and real parents, and real slides. Ezra could not believe his eyes. Ezra played and played and played. He was so content on this Roman playground. He even wanted to go home with a Roman family. instead he ended up jumping in a Roman fountain. You know one of us had to do this. Ezra is becoming quite our little ambassador. Ezra was all wet, but mostly dry by the time we arrived home. We saw some clothes markets near the streets and we went back out with Viena and Dwana to see if we could find some warm clothes to pack for our trip to Vienna. Vienna is going to be a little chillier.
