Roman White Christmas

 Walking out of my front door this morning could not have been more exciting.  The sky was filled with little snowflakes  all fluttering slowly in the air and then melting when hitting the ground.  The snow at this point in the day and very light and quickly hair began have white little snowflakes on it.  Who would have thought a white Christmas in Rome!  I was off to do some window Christmas shopping and go to lunch with Tara's friends who were arriving from London.  When I arrived at the baths of Diocletian the snow started to come down really hard.  All of the Roman monuments had a light layer of snow of them and well in Rome there are many fountains.  All of the fountains were frozen with icicles hanging from them.  In the picture above is at the Bath of Diocletian.  Everyone in the streets and even the Romans were all out watching the rare occasion of the snowfall.  The last time that it snowed was seven years ago.  Roman boys in high school and even college ran around the streets with there shirts off and singing.  After playing in the snow, I went into Hotel Exedra lobby because met a girl on the bus who informed us that Brad and Angelina and Johnny Depp are staying at the hotel this week to promote their new movie The Tourist.  I am off to my final farewell dinner and for my final day in Rome.  Tomorrow I will post my final blog of the semester!  If you look closely in the pictures you can see the snow and the icicles!
