Well, the alphabet game didn't last very long!
This city is incredible. For one, I feel 100 times safer than I did in Athens. I am at a loss for words. Garvey and I spent the day on a city tour, and it was moving. There is something about this city that is magical. Even with the tour busses, the whizzing scooters and the thousands of people on the sidewalks, it felt like a dream. From the Trevi fountain to the Sistine Chapel to the Vatican to the Pantheon, everything was perfect!
The most amazing thing about the city is how welcoming it is. All of the restuarants and cafes spill into the streets. Everything is small and cozy. Each building is covered with rooftop gardens and window boxes. The shutters here are actually used! People really open and close their shutters!
Even in the most touristy places in the city, it would only take a few minutes to find a quiet street, a shaded bench to sit on, or a gelateria with tons of flavors. And let me tell you, the gelato is delicious. The pizza is even better. The paninis are right up there as well. Forget working on our chaco tan lines, the theme of this trip should just be food. And Italy is definitely winning.
