Roma At Last!


Thursday, October 26


After our difficult drive into the city, We did finally make it to our apartment in the Trastevere. Boy were we happy to get there. Didn't even mind climbing the two flights of stairs with our luggage! We moved our car to a parking garage where we were leaving it for our four day visit. On the 10 minute walk back to the apartment, Nick stopped into a bar on the main street and ordered a shot of scotch!! I wasn't far behind him with a glass of chilled rose back at the apartment!

As for the rest of this day.....after we recuperated for a while, hunger got the best of us and we walked a short distance to a Trattoria in our neighborhood for dinner-unfortunately the name escapes me just now. It was located in a building built in the 1400's and the outside was lit by torches. Very exciting setting for our first dinner in this ancient city.




We had a wonderful table by an open window and we listened to some Italian musicians playing in the street below. We had a simple meal of bruscetta, pasta, pizza, salad and wine. Then it was really buona notte!!
