Beautiful Rome

Rome is a beautiful city. My husband and I went to Italy to visit Rome, Florence and Venice and Rome was by far our favorite of the three. There is a wonderful energy to the city. The people were outgoing and friendly. And the men and women were beautiful (of course)! It seemed that everywhere we turned there was a pleasant surprise. Pockets of history surrounded by a busy metropolis. Picturesque alleys to escape the crowds. I always tell people that Paris is my first love. But Rome is my true love.

Thanks for the tip that Italian lessons can be obtained free on iTunes. I've been meaning to pick up a cd before my trip in May, but this will save me the time and expense. Thanks again!

So true Joroma. Cappucino is served all day, I've updated my tip to say that most of the locals consider it a "morning drink". Thanks for the heads up.
