This is me. In the World.

Two years ago, while traveling in Spain, I was set straight by a dear friend regarding something I clung to in order to establish my identity. As is common when traveling, I was often asked where I was from, and I always responded, "New York" as that had been my last stopping point. On a hot afternoon in Sevilla, my friend overheard this exchange and set me straight: "YOU are not FROM New York. (I'm not?) "People like you are OF the world, you are not FROM New York. Whatever you do, wherever you go, the world is your home...no matter where you have been or where you are going, you will always be of the world. Paige del Mundo. Sounds much better don't you think?" I thought it sounded cartoon-characterish, but I knew his idea was right. Exploring the world - locally or faraway - has always been my passion. So here is the story of Paige del Mundo. Paige of the World. These are my pages written while being in the world. I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoy telling my story.

Fun Day X 3

I was so thankful that for my first day on this journey I would be sharing it with girlfriends. Sue's good friend Johanna had joined her for her Tuscan-turned-Roman-adventure, and the law of friendship made her my friend too!









So, from 10:30AM when we found each other at the train station until the next morning when I boarded my train for Milan, it was fun times three!

Even checking into our apartment for the night was fun (Sue brought wine), and once we were sorted, we were off on our own version of Roman Holiday!


From checking out the flowers and other items in our neighborhood, Campo dei Fiori:



An awesome lunch at La Quercia:



To checking out local artists in Piazza Navonna:




After our morning and afternoon of leisure, we were ready to meet the Pope!
