By 8:30 am it was already hot. We packed up as quickly as possible, ate the remains of our food and headed - oh fine - to the pool. We just couldn't leave, not when it was 35 degrees above by 10 in the morning! We did the pool dance (this ridiculous ritual Connor and Tessa invented where we must run around the pool twice until we are hot and then leap simultaneously into the pool. Margaret never does.)

It was sad to leave. We'd enjoyed our vacation from our trip. Ha, ha! However, when in Rome... OK, we're not there yet... but we needed to do as the Romans do; so that meant, in this case, that we needed to get to Rome.
