This week we went to the Ambrit Rome International School Spring Dinner & Auction at Castello Odescalchi di Bracciano, about an hour north of Rome. (The Odescalchi family has students in the school.) The castle dates from the second half of the 15th century,
I guess I was too busy talking and eating to take pictures of the beatiful interior. I got this photo of the interior courtyard before we left.
PS: The was the castle where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had their wedding in 2006.
Today it snowed in Rome. Yes, it really snowed. As my kids, Emily and Peter, returned to work at their schools in Jersey City and New York City after having two snow days, we went to to school in the snow!
I teach at Ambrit Rome International School. This year we have the flags of 75 nations hanging in the atrium, representing the birthplaces of our student body. The kids are really proud to see their flag on display. It is also a wonderful experience to be interacting with students and parents from around the world.
