That's right. We're off on another European vacation! A few days in Paris, a few days in Rome and then we're back home. Part of me just wants to stay home and forget this trip. I've done hours of research on the internet, reading about these two cities, what there is to see there, how much it costs, what the weather will be like, yada, yada, yada. After overloading my brain with all that information, plus getting through our first week of homeschooling, it feels stressful to go on this trip. Not to mention our concerns with being pickpocket targets in Rome. Yikes! Gangs of gypsy children are known to swarm tourists, distracting them and taking everything they can. Even heard a story about a motherly type pretending to fall while holding her "baby", dumping her little one into poor unsuspecting tourist's arms, while accomplices help themselves to pockets. After its all over, tourist realizes the baby was a doll and that his pockets are picked dry! We know what we need to do to keep safe, mostly to stay alert and carry as little as possible, as concealed as possible. The rest is in God's hands - May He watch over us and keep us safe!
School was good today. We had a short history lesson involving the ancient coins of Rome and then looking up in the Bible the terms used for money. Moved onto an English lesson that involved interrogative sentences, article adjectives and how to classify sentences. Lucky for me, ~N~ was paying attention in class last year and understands this stuff quite well. We basically reviewed it all today. I'm already feeling more comfortable, happy and content with our learning.
I've got to get supper going, more packing done and pay some bills! What Fun!
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
May His face shine upon you
and give you peace,
Marla
