One last bottle of Prosecco

Before leaving Italy, we had one last item on the agenda and it involved a bottle of prosecco, hopefully to be shared with friends from college who had just arrived in Rome.

Having packed everything up and prepared for our early morning as much as possible, we walked to Piazza Navona to wait for our friends. Coincidentally, we've been able to meet up with two sorority sisters while in Rome, both of whom grew up with Amy and the girls' mothers are best friends to Amy's mom. Sarah (younger than us by 3 years and studying abroad in Rome) is the same friend we had over for dinner at our apartment and Katie (our year) and their moms were flying in to town with a 48-hour window to meet for drinks before we went on to Greece and they retrieved Sarah from her spring term abroad.

After a flurry of messages trying to arrange a time to meet, we told them where we would be celebrating our last night in Rome, and thankfully they met us with enough time to share a second bottle. It was great seeing Katie since after graduating college, we all have such hectic lives, but Rome gave us a chance to catch up and seeing their moms again was an added bonus.
