As we wandered through Rome we passed the Pantheon. The last time we did this was 2011 when we had the girls with us. We recalled the challenge of walking them through the streets avoiding, not only the multitude of visitors, but also the parts of the pavement where the sun reached to ensure the hot cobbles didn’t crispy fry their feet.

Everywhere we stopped for a drink the girls also got a drink kindly provided by the bar staff  because, unlike home, in Italy dogs are just part of the family.
