Witnessing history.

Ciao tutti,

It's with a different tone that I write you tonight, as much has been going on today in beautiful Roma. We are on a trip to Pompeii, Naples and Capri this weekend and, thus, are not in Rome at the moment, but we learned this evening that riots have been taking place in Rome near the Colosseum since earlier today.

The riots are due to economic unrest going on and these riots are not only being seen in Rome, but in many, many countries, including the U.S.

See this article for a brief overview of the happenings.

Then see this for more details and history.

Tomorrow we head back to Rome after our weekend away, and I'm so interested to see what's going on. Tomorrow is also a very large soccer game which is sure to bring even more uproar, plus if these riots continue - it is sure to be an interesting time. Adding more turbulence to the situation is the fact that the happenings with Berlusconi just occurred yesterday.

While I'm excited to witness history in the making, I really hope and pray that things can settle without too much destruction to property and human life.

Love, Style and Thoughts for Peace,
L.M.
