8. They had told her that she'd need a sleeved shirt, a longer skirt and head covering

to tour the Vatican and a few other places. Not sure whether Teva thong sandals would be acceptable footwear or not for that. Her 20th birthday is in a few days, so I told her this trip is a good 20th bday present I'll take her out and get her a printed gauze peasant skirt and some tops that go with it. If it's the crinkle gauze, she won't have to find some way to press it wherever she's staying. She was going to take a sleek, business type skirt, but I think that would be to difficult to keep nice looking. They're doing a 13th century monastery in Rome (the only place they'll have wifi). For the rest of the time, they'll be in a few bed and breakfasts, internet access will only be available at the local pub/restaurants.
