Nona Hope you enjoy your colosseum tour. Don't get caught in the riot. It rained twice today - one at about 1 pm and then at 4 pm, harder than the first causing the frogs to start croaking. All OK. Take care and God bless. Hi Nona, Great news about the rain - it will make a huge difference to the garden. We got to the Colosseum today and it was well worth it. I dont think the riots have continued today as there have been no helicopters flying about and the public transport is working again. Catch y later. Jeannie
