National picnic day

Waiting for my friend Gretchen and her two sons at Fumucino, Rome.

New Rome fashion. Tight legs and baggy butt and shorts in a crack.

So far we are having a great time. We left the Rome airport around 10 pm and arrived in Castelvecchio around midnight. After driving through little towns and seeing how many people were out we decided to head directly to the piazza. A small kid with a gold hat was playing an accordion at least 1/2 his size. He was very stylish with a lot of panache. We got there near the end of his set and the next act was prominent people of CVS doing karaoke. That was when we decided to go home. 

After second breakfast, Friday was spent at our beach and at our gelato shop. 

Today, National Picnic Day, we drove up to Rocca Calascio, where usually we were the only people there. Not today. The place was crowded and since cars had parked both directions on the two way, narrow road there was no way for oncoming traffic to get by. We decided to skip RC and headed for the Campo Impertore where there was also an amazing number of people. Eventually we pulled off the road and just sat on the ground and had our picnic. It was delicious because Jim made it. Unfortunately we were sitting on the off road track for people who wanted to go see a small statue, but did not want to walk. Amazing.
