Thursday we arrived in Rome. So much energy in this city!! We love the language and all the people are so very friendly. Although you also learn quickly, if they are too friendly, they ussually want you to pay for something. :) We are loving the food, I think we've had all the Italian staples this far and now venturing into some unknown territory. We tried Tuscan stew last night and as our waiter said it was, "Terrbly Good". :) Vino with every meal has been a good treat as well. :)
Our first day in Roma we saw most everything exept the ruins and Vatican City which we hit the second day. John and I hoofed it for two days trying to fit everything in. :) We most liked the mideival district on the other side of the river. It was a bit more off the beaten path and it seemed to have less tourists, more locals and good food. :) We sat next to two great guys that are camaigning for Angelina who is running for the Italian parliament in a few months. There names were Fabio and Dalio and held John's and my attention for hours with lots of stories and discussions. In the end Dalio was coordinating an event at the Vatican with the Pope on Sunday and gave me a T-shirt which has a colored cross they designed to represent the many countries and the Pope's mission of "Many countries, one Christ". They were so nice. :)
