This is where I want to die

I visited Rome and have not been the same since. There's something indefinable about this city, the people are friendly, warm and welcoming, the food is outstanding, there's a sense of pride and goodwill toward others, it's easy to get around and the historical value of a trip here cannot be underestimated. Rome will literally sweep you off your feet and blow you away. I threw a coin in Trevi Fountain and I fully intend to return someday!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Everything you could ever want
Cons:But don't drive!
In a nutshell:A city that I still dream about

Last visit to Rome: Sep 2007
