Day 1: Rome


Waiting for our two bags is more difficult for Sarah as she has no clothes. Rome is not a bad place to have to go shopping. Also lets talk about the espresso for a minute. The Roman version of the drive thru coffee stand is a pedestrian coffee bar. Come in, get a quick fix, pay the piper, and take off. Usually straight espresso, but maybe a cappuccino or machiatto if they are feeling lucky. They dont sit down. they are in and out in 2 minutes. It has a rhythm to it and it is great to be a part of it. It goes a little something like this.

ciao, grazie, prego, ciao, ciaograzie, pregociao, ciao a tutti, ciaogratzie, prego, ciao gratzie. like a musical.

it is good to be in rome.
