On the Via Appia Antica . . .

I was promised a walk on the Appian Way.

It stared off great.  I was off the leash and loving life.

But, then, of course, mommy and grandma wanted to stop for some wine and lunch.

We found a nice place, though.

Everyone liked me, and somebody asked me if I wanted a steak. 

Grandma gave me a piece of mozzarella,

and mommy let me eat a clam!

Yum.

I wanted another clam.

Then, we walked and walked.

It was so pretty.

Grandma and I spied on the rich and famous.

What a beautiful place!

Mommy said she had been here before.

I'm so happy she brought me, too.
