Day 8 - Our Day in Ostia

On Sunday after we disembarked from the ship we took a taxi to Ostia where we spent the day with Cyril's cousin Jenii, her husband Mario, their 2 girls Analisa and Sienna, and Cyril's Auntie Margie. They live in London but they vacation in Ostia for the month of August. We were glad we planned our trip so we could meet up with them in Italy. The last time Cyril saw them (and I met them) was 14 years ago when they visited Calgary.

We had such a wonderful day! We spent the entire day at the beach where we played with the girls, ate gelato, walked along the beach front shopping area and marina, had the yummiest Italian food, and of course just talked and talked about everything. It was nice to catch up and get to know them better. Analisa and Sienna were so much fun and so sweet. We only wished our kids were there too! It was such a wonderful visit we didn't want to leave, but we had an early Vatican tour the next morning.

Thanks Jenii and Mario for everything!! We wish we lived closer so we could see you more often. Eating Italian food just hasn't been the same!!!
