Hello! My name is Khaleesi and my human and I are visiting Rome for
a month this summer! My friend Regi is also here with his human. He and
I battled in gladiatorial combat at the Colosseum last week. It was
epic.

MY favorite part of the trip is flying
over St. Peter's Square at night and seeing all of the pretty lights,
but Olivia (that's my human) likes seeing all the places where people
like Julius Caesar and Romulus used to live. She was also really excited
to discover that she can buy her entire breakfast plus coffee for only 2
euro!

Sometimes, when we go to museums, we
play Guess Which God with the mythological artwork, and I help her try
to translate all of the Latin. We're also learning lots of Italian
words! Sometimes we can order coffee or gelato without speaking English
at all.

Two weekends ago, we visited Pompeii,
but it was really rainy so Olivia kept my wings nice and dry in her
jacket. She was a little scared that Mount Vesuvius would erupt while we
were there, but I promised I would carry her to safety. We saw so much
cool stuff!

This week, we're going to tour the Vatican and the Vatican Museums, and then on Saturday
we'll get back on the big metal dragon to fly home (I may be strong,
but I'm not strong enough to carry a human across the entire Atlantic).
Ciao!
