Visiting Caden in Rome

We took our first family trip to Rome on Sunday to Visit our son, Caden, at St Stephens International School. He is a boarder there. This is his 5th day there. You would have thought it was his 3rd year there. Mr social butterfly is settling right in and making friends. Very nice to see. He has already gone on a couple of excursions into Rome with a few of the kids from school. This is a great opportunity and should be a great learning experience for Caden. Teenagers from all over the globe attend this school in Rome. Forty of them board at the school and the rest are day students that live in Rome and return home after class.

Caden was our tour guide and he took us to the Campo de' Fiori area of Rome. This is an area with many shops and restaurants (ristorantes). Every morning here is a fish and produce market. At night it is a social gathering hub for Italian and international youths. We ate lunch in this area and had our first experience eating authentic Italian pizza. Very tastey! A crispy crust and all fresh ingredients, like, tomatoes, herbs, mushrooms, sausage, cheese. They put little to no sauce on.
