Ciao bella - An ineffective pickup line


Ciao from Roma!

I would never venture to pass myself off as Italian, but I'm getting pretty good at using that map of the city and finding places, such as...

The Trevi Fountain,

where I, of course, threw a coin in and made a wish.
We also got to go to


the Coliseum, where, like in most of Rome, there are SO many ruins everywhere that

they don't even care if you touch them. Or lean against them, for that matter.
Also, there are a lot of lions. Not real lions. Statues of lions, lion heads, lions with wings.

And these lion door handles inside a museum. Do you think its an entrance to Narnia? Man, we should have gone through.
So, as you can see, Roma e bellissima, and I can't wait to see Salerno, on the coast, where the sun is always shining and the tortellini are always made by someone's grandmother. That's the word in the piazza anyway. Ciao!
