When in Rome...

So, if you do decide to come and visit my beautiful home town one day, let's say on a hot Thursday afternoon, this is what could happen to you.

Take public transportation just to get you close enough to your downtown destination. Even in the heat you can enjoy the corners, the monuments, the people. You know where you are going, so nothing will distract you from reaching your goal, but on the way stop and smell the air. You will discover the wonderful surprises by the window shopping roads, that deal on something you never thought you would buy but now, all of a sudden, you feel compelled to purchase.  You will delight in listening to the casual artist by the corner of a "piazza" that is just beautifying the afternoon mood with his saxophone with a "Girl from Ipanema" melody that will remind you of your loved one.

Just by where you had decided to go you will find Buddhist monks working on miracle of art with coloured powder and the magic of their breath....and more shopping opportunities. :)

Then the heat will take over and you will need to stop for a "granita di caffe' con panna" by the Pantheon, and enjoy the sweet taste of refreshment with a coffee signature you will not soon forget. And on the way back from where you were heading, a band of police officers on duty will delight you with yet another tune on a small public concert by the same square.  It can all and will all happen - I promise you!

This post is for my hubby.

Enjoy!
