Here we are back in the land of pizza, prosecco and pasta. In less than 24 hours of our arrival in Rome, we sampled the first two and I'm hopeful tonight that we will enjoy the third.
The city is golden, the streets are full (although not as crowded as in the spring) and the weather is perfect for strolling. We spent our first full day visiting some of our favorite places from the Piazza del Populo down to the Piazza da Santa Maria in Trastevere. Steve even got a hair cut and beard trim at his barber so he is looking quite the Italian gentleman.
The big news--for us at least--is that our favorite wine bar, Ferrara on Piazza Trilussa, has gone through a major renovation. Although the wine is still wonderful, the new decor lacks the warmth and charm of the original space. Oh well, life goes on.
