Farewell Mum and Dad

On Sunday we were a bit tired so we had a restful day. We had lunch on our tiny little terrace. It was fun.

On Monday, Mum and Dad had lunch with us at the ESM. Some of the students call me and Kev 'mum and dad', so it was touching to see them say goodbye to their 'grandma and grandpa'.

At night we went to Trastevere for dinner. This is a funky little area of Rome with many restaurants and a great atmosphere. We ate lots. Dad had the fish. We were wondering why it was so cheap when we looked at the menu. We found out when we got the bill. Twas because the price was per 100 grams. Oops.

On Tuesday morning, Mum and Dad left Rome to return to Australia. It was very sad for me, but I will see them in a couple of months when we go home for a holiday. It was so good that they were able to visit - we had a great time together!
