I'm back in Rome and the weather is fantastic! I have put away my winter coat (hopefully for good) and it feels especially warm compared to Sweden. I had such a wonderful time in Sweden, though, visiting friends who are like extended family. We went to a museum in Denmark, explored Malmo and Lund, played games, had fika about every hour, and played with baby Aron. I even braved the Swedish winter on a bike! The Swedes have a saying "There's no bad weather, only bad clothes" (or something like that) and I found it to be true. I borrowed warm socks, gloves, and a coat from Anna and after 10 minutes biking we were sweaty, took off our hats and gloves, and the crisp air felt so refreshing.
It's March already, which means we only have a couple months left and we really haven't traveled at all around Italy yet - I guess we are just enjoying Rome so much!
