Rome

I'm getting ready to head to the airport soon so I wanted to pop in here and do our last post.  Its been an amazing trip.  Rome was just as expected, great sights, great food and great people.  Most things you see here don't seem really.  Its like you are sitting in the middle of a movie set.  I cant wait to show all the pictures.  

Jody left me this morning and it was sad walking around by myself but the people here keep you pretty entertained.  Yesterday we walked down to the Spanish steps to go shopping but all we found was Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Versace, every expensive name brand stores for blocks.  A pair of sunglasses wouldve been too expensive.  We did find a few affordable places but I thought shopping was better in Florence.  We had a great dinner at Le Fric....Jody had the Carbonara and I had a Risotto made with Champagne and smoked cheese...YUM.  The owner recommended that we go to this rooftop bar and drink his favorite drink.  I cant remember the name but its brown sugar, limes, strawberries, and vodka...soon to be served every night at Jody's house. It was good but really strong.  There was only 1 other person there all night but we had a blast.  Good way to end our stay in Rome.  

wish you all were here with us.
