In Fondi, after two nights in Rome

When flying out from Barcelona (or Girona), probably about 75% of the flights were cancelled. Ours was not. Nor was the airport very crowded. I guess people actually stayed away from the airport if their flight was cancelled. So we arrived in Rome without any problems, feeling pretty lucky considering how many people that was stuck.

Rome was busy. Lots of everything. We had a really nice dinner, in a restaurant recommended by Rick Steves, thank you Rick! But his nightmare description of how it is to cross a street in Rome was quite an exageration. Traffic is busy but drivers are still fairly considerate and are not actually trying to hit tourists.

We are now in Fondi. It is raining. We will see if there is a nice place to have some dinner tonight. I would like to sample some of the local wine, if possible.

Did you find a good restaurant? Where in the world are you now? I'm waiting for some pictures. Or are you going to wait and post pictures when you get to Sweden? What about the wine..is it wonderful?

Hey Magnus and Autumn
Glad to hear things are going well. It is so awesome to live vicariously through you guys. I can't wait to see more pictures. Remember me and Danny (please don't tell Rex) are going to Paris and Italy for our 25th anniversary next Sept so please tell me all the cool local restaurants you have found!
Talk to you soon.

Hey! Let us know were in Italy you are going and we might be able to give you the names of a few restaurants. We went to some really good ones and some not so good.

Would Rex want to come with you if he found out?

Talk to you later!
