Rome, a lifetime is not enough Truer words haven't been spoken. The amount of history and artifacts in this town are staggering. It's history dates back to 753BC. You could spend days at each one of the sites around the city and still not see everything. I hope my travelogue will help guide you on a quick two day trip of Rome. I am sure that I missed some things - but there is always next time. |

|  | Food One of my favorite hobbies is eating - and trust me when I say you won't go hungry in Rome. My advice is to find a quieter section of town and then wander down the back alleys until you find a more local restaurant of the type that I describe. The food seems to taste better the less of your native tongue you hear. |
| | People The passion, the joi de vie, the laid back attitude.......the inability to speak without using hands (a problem I share).....I could spend hours observing the locals in their element. |

Largo di Torre Argentina. This should be the name of the "cat snctuary" in Rome. Ciao! | Chicagogirl04 Thu Jul 1, 2004 00:18 UTC
Your comments about pickpockets were really funny. Thanks for telling another side of the story. | chicabonita Sat Oct 4, 2003 21:28 UTC
the wine bar would be the place for me to go :-)) | Geisha_Girl Fri Jul 11, 2003 07:54 UTC
Last time I was here for 2 days. Slept thru a Sat night dressed in my party clothes. Went to mass at Santo Pietro & had money to burn but nowhere to spend on Sunday. So true about pickpockets. Had Drunken Master moves ready but didn't need em. Great page! |
