People we have met in Rome

  We have met a lot of very nice and interesting people during our stay in Rome. While there were many, the following pictures are a sampling of them.

Picture
Paula is a Roman who lives not far from our apartment.
Picture
We met Stevie and Stuart at this restaurant today. While they are originally from Indianapolis, they are currently living in Paris as Stevie is on a foreign internship with her company. They spend their week-ends sightseeing through Europe.
Picture
Matt is a tour bike driver here in Rome. We met him over by the Colosseum. He originally is from Brooklyn New York. He was an Army brat traveling around the world.
Picture
Matti, Tiinaa, and Jade are from Finland. We met them at the Porta San Sebastián near the beginning of the Appian Way.
Picture
We met these three sisters, Heather, Kristin, and Amy over at the Piazza Navona. They hail from Dallas Texas.
Picture
We met Ryan, Melissa, Jude, and Henry in front of Castile St. Angelo. Originally from San Francisco, they are living in Rome while Ryan pursues his studies.
Picture
Peter and Lilli are from Vermont. We met them at the church of San Pietro in Vincoli.
Picture
We met Francesca while going to the Baths of Caracalla. She is a Roman who taught high school English here for many years. While we were talking, she was surprised by a former student of hers who happened to be bicycling by.

To all of these, and many more we met along the way, Ciao Roma. We would like to take this moment to extend a special thank you to our first Roman landlord, Stefano, who went above and beyond to make our stay very special. It is very obvious that he loves his Rome, and now, thanks to him, so do we.

Stefano. We meant every word we said about you. You went way above and beyond to ensure that we had a good time. It was wonderful to see Rome through your eyes. Your advice was much appreciated. Thank you again for going out of the way for us. Remember, you will always have friends in the USA.
