Update from Rome
September 18th - DAY
We are getting close to finishing our time in Rome. About to head to bed; tomorrow we find a train to Firenze (Florence). Rome has been great. The language is more unfamiliar (but they are very patient with our 10 word vocabulary), the streets are crazy (just don’t drive) and the weather is hot and humid. But for all that, it is still spectacular. The major sites are dotted throughout the city. The pantheon hides in a square with only small alleys leading to it.
There is both grandeur and intimacy here. St. Peter’s church is measured in football fields, but the little restaurant we ate at only has 10 tables.
Above all, the city is so alive. There’s too many tourists, but Rome overcomes it. Proudest moment, the waiter thinking Karen spoke Italian, if only for 2 minutes.
