So here we are back in Rome. Unfortunately, we are not at Vicolo del Cedro 12--it's been rented for a year--but we are comfortably ensconced at the St. George's Hotel on Via Giulia, a beautiful cobblestoned street across the river from Trastevere. After an afternoon nap or at least an attempt to nap on my part, we head out to pound the pavements and, most importantly, get our first glass of prosecco at our favorite wine bar, Ferrara, on Piazza Trilussa. Fulvia, our favorite bar maid, isn't there but it doesn't matter. We are here and feeling wonderful.
We take a sentimental walk past our old house--the shutters are open and the lights are on--and then walk around the corner for dinner at Quirino on Vicolo della Scala in Trastevere. The owner recognizes us and the pasta is perfectly cooked--al dente!
How wonderful to be back in Rome.
