Rome Master Tennis

Today I was lucky enough to go to the final of the Rome Masters Tennis. The mother of the family had arranged some complimentary tickets through her work. The final was contested between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. The first set went to a tie breaker, which Nadal won, and then the second set started promising before Djokovic seemed to loose it a bit mentally and Nadal took it 6-2. It was the first time I have seen any tennis on clay, and it was great to see the long rally's!

The kids go back to school tomorow, so I will have the days free for the next 2 weeks before I leave Rome.

This week we are having a Music party at the house. The father knows a famous american violinist, who has agreed to play at our house, and so he has arranged for some other musicians to come along too. Its quite a production, we are expecting 120 guests! I have my doubts as to whether the house can handle that many people, time will tell! Last week the father came home from a trip to Florence where he went to a wine farm of someone he knew and bought some wine - 300 bottles!! Its all stored in the kitchen now, it looks cool!
