Rome Day. Last Day in Europe.

Luca: That is us at the Trevi Fountain.
Nico: On our last day in Rome we tried to do all of our favorite things.
Why is the Trevi fountain so important? It's because on the last day in Rome you throw a coin in over your shoulder backwards.

Luca: That is a huge column.

Nico: We went to Giolitti for ice cream.



Nico: I wanted to go play at the Piazza so we went and did that. That's a picture of two dogs. The two dogs are like me and Luca.




Nico: We went to a cool place called Popi Popi, we ate pasta, pizza, salads, all kinds of stuff that's good in Rome. And this is the last blog post.



Luca: That's us walking over the bridge in front our our apartment called the Ponte Sisto Bridge.




Luca: That is us inside our new apartment in Rome. we only got to stay there for a tiny bit because the next day early in the morning we had to get a shuttle for the airport.



Luca: My summer in Europe was awesome but a little bit too hot.
Nico: I wish we could stay longer.I will never forget how fun it was and how many dogs there was. Hopefully, we'll have a blog next summer!
Luca: I'll never forget how fun this whole trip was, and I'm sorry to say to our blog lovers, this is the official last piece of our blog.
Nico: But of course, as I said, I promise you that we will have blog next summer--of a new Italy trip!

Last full day of Lisbon

Nico: That first picture is me wearing mom's scarf like a hood and both of them are at the subway station, and the second one is a bunny.


 


Luca: We went across a river on a ferry. 



Nico: That's us, we went up on a big, big, elevator. And it was on top of a big mountain and it had a pretty view.

Luca: There was 1 million fish that were all trying to drink from the sewer pipes. And it's the hugest school of fish I have ever seen!


Nico: We were walking along the beach and we saw a graffiti of a big, mad, fanged mushroom.
Luca: So the mushroom was kind of creepy but me and dad laughed at it a little.

Luca: This is a place with sardine butter and crab guts and brain and shellfish of many kinds, like shrimp and crab.

Nico: That's a big place.



 Nico: The top picture is a big chicken dinner we had, the second one was mom's drink she got, and the last one is the neighborhood.

Luca: This is the night of our last day in Lisbon.


Lisboa Day/Lisboa is Lisbon

Luca: That is a vehicle called a Tuk Tuk. Someone drove us in that over to a restaurant where we ate snails. You can eat snails in Lisbon.

Nico: That's us in front of the snail restaurant.


Luca: See, I told you you could get snails! So anyway, these are the snails.


Nico: This is us going to the pool in the hotel.
Luca: You probably already know this, but the hotel is our hotel. The pool wasn't so fun because it was very cold in there.

Nico: This is us at the pool watching a little boy play with his ball and keep throwing it into the water and swimming and catching it.


Luca: These are some yummy pastries we got at a bakery. I didn't really like them because they were too sweet for me.











Luca: That is me and Nico eating at one of the best seafood places. I told you they had good seafood! So anyway, we ate a huge shrimp and we cracked a huge crab and I ate some of the guts and brains of it. We used hammers to crack the crab.
Nico: We also picked sea snails, and ate barnacles. This was a fun restaurant! The waiter liked us so much.

Nico: We went on a very famous trolley, but the sad thing that I didn't like was that we couldn't stay on it very long.
Luca: I liked the trolley but there was a huge line for it, which was one reason I didn't really like it.

Luca: That day was super fun.
Nico: That was a fun day! I wish we could go to that restaurant again. 
Luca: There was very good food that day.

Traveling to Lisbon

Nico: If you don't know what Lisbon is, it's in a place in Europe called Portugal.
Nico: This night, we were in a place called Lisboa. It's Lisbon.

Luca: That is us eating nachos and jalapenos.
Nico: It was very good! We did it with Dad only because mom had a phone call.


Nico: One day, we were at some market in Lisbon. And we ate dinner there. I liked it.
Luca: we had some yummy, but also weird, dinners.

Nico: That was a fun day.
Luca: That was a fun day. Lisbon had the best seafood, I think.
