We're on the 3rd city on our tour of Italy, the cities have gotten progressivly bigger. Rome is big and beautiful and full of spring blooms. It's also full of Easter tourists who are a bit annoying but
not taking away from my enjoyment of the amazing city.
Tonight at 9 the Pope, yes the actual Pope, is speaking at the Coloseo which is down the street from our apartment. We are making sure to be far away from that crowd.
I was kissed by my 3rd Italian man (don't worry John, strictly air kisses), it was Mimmo, Sara's waiter friend at ZioCiro. Then instead of returning to the apartment we went to the expansive Villa Borghese park to rest on a blanket on the lawn.
Staying away from the Pope speaking in Rome on Easter weekend??!?!?!
ReplyDeleteThats like missing a chance to see the Queen in her castle in London, or to see the president give a speech in D.C. on presidents day!!!!!
Crowds or no crowds you two are crazy for not going!
