(The Colosseum in Rome, Italy)
It's official, I feel in love in Rome. Not with a hot Italian, but with the sun, the incredible architecture, and the wonderful Italian men working the the delis who fed me unbelievable fresh bread, meats and veg and even opened the bottle of wine for me! It was probably my favorite day of that trip. It still amazes me that these buildings and ruins still exists with a bustling city around them and not to mention many sun lounging cats, ha! The history is wonderful and the food, OH GOD THE FOOD! Jessica and I avoided the tourist traps of expensive and low quality pasta in the city and opted to find a little corner deli and get an assortment of food that was fresh and picnicked in front of ruins and on the spanish steps where we drank wine and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on our skin. After all we had just left Switzerland where is rained the entire time and was freezing. One of the deli men, who was quick to say he didn't speak english so I told him to pick, got so excited he kept feeding me samples of the fresh meats and bread and excitedly gave me possibly the best meal of my life.
Rome, let's do this again! I'll even bring the wine this time!
