Jacob: This afternoon we went to this church that had a crypt filled with monks bones. There were designs made of bones on the walls and ceilings. There were big stacks of human skulls, leg bones, jawbones, every kind of bone. Some of the skulls still had skin attached to them. (Molly: We went to the Cappucin Crypt, where they have chambers filled with human bones from 4,000 people - mostly monks- from 1600's-1800's. It was really interesting, but creepy.)
Afterwards we walked around and found Piazza Barbieri and in the center there was a big fountain with fish blowing water. The best thing we found was a gelaterie! I got melon & kiwi, mom got mango & kiwi, and Charlotte got strawberry, but then she traded with mom.
Now we're getting ready for dinner and then we're going to make popcorn on the stove in olive oil and have fun.

Just finished talking to you guys on Skyp (sp?) with your other kids. We had a good day with them today. Grandpa forgot he has a 2:00 dentist appt tomorrow so we can't go to Ann Arbor, but we'll see what else we can do. They enjoyed Caesarland and the penny candy store today. They're rushing home now to get Maddie to ballet. It was wonderful to talk to Jake, Char & Ben for the first time. Glad you've all been to see the Pope. We feel so much more secure now! Have fun tomorrow!! Love, Mom/Grandma
