Fountains of Rome
Piazza San Pietro
INTRODUCTION: My blog has been dormant for several months. It seems that facebook and my classroom blog (www.Ambrit5L.blogspot.com) have been taking it's place. But with a new Advent Season I decided to dust off the AMOROMA blog and share a 5th Roman Advent Calendar. I remember Advent Calendars from my childhood, and over the years I shared them with my own kids, Emily and Peter. We would look forward to opening a window and revealing a picture, and sometimes a verse, relating to Christmas. (This year I have one on my iPad and a friend gifted me one in electronic form that I will begin opening on December 1st.)
Previous years I have posted Roman Windows, Roman Doors, Roman Gates and Angels in Rome. This year I will continue my Advent Calendar tradition with Fountains of Rome. Each day you will be able to log in and see a different fountain that I have encountered here in Rome.
Question: When do I start the Advent Calendar? Today, November 27, is the beginning of Advent in Christian Churches. There are just so many fountains in Rome, so I will begin today and let you "splash" in them until Christmas.

Wonderful! I was just going to send you a message and ask if you were doing one this year. Some traditions are just too good to mess around with. And as always I'll be doing a sidebar link.
What better way to prepare for Christmas than a weekly visit to the fountains of Rome? Thanks, Larry.
Now that you gave us a tease you know you have to continue. Will be looking forward to seeing your post. Thank you for the tradition.
I always look forward to your Advent theme. Thanks for reactivating your blog.
So glad to see the Advent calendar back.

Hurray! Christmastide would not be the same without your Advent Calendar. It's so nice to have you back in the blogosphere Larry! I now have something to look forward to each day.
