Pre Rome trip



My granddaughter Claudia always asks for a trip with her "nonna", as she calls me, when her birthday is coming. She was nine last Friday, July 3rd. So, tomorrow we are going to Rome!
It's always exciting to go on a trip with her. I always try to plan "serious" or, let's say, more "sophisticated" activities together with those that seem to be more frivolous or appealing to her. The funny thing is she always remembers the more sophisticated stuff! So this time I'm ready for anything so called "cultural"!
A few days ago I gave her a guide of Rome and ask her to check on the places she wanted to visit. Here is the list she came up with:

Most of the parks in Rome
The Pantheon
The Colosseum
Roman Forum
Baths of Diocletian
The Catacombs
Ostia Antica...

These were amongst her first choice. Not bad for a nine year old, right?
