ROME if You Want to, Roam around the World

Buongiorno!  It’s Thursday January 12 and the first day I woke up in Roma!  The John Felice Rome Center is the most beautiful campus I have ever seen.  Fruit trees and olive groves adorn the entrance and each bedroom has a view of natural scenery of the neighborhood.  I have probably walked about 10 miles just since I arrived, much of that being aimless strolling due to my poor sense of direction and extremely hidden street signs.  Regardless, somewhere along those 10 miles I realized there is nothing better than being lost.  I am lost in another culture.  Lost in another language.  Lost in the romance of this incredible city.  I am captivated.

Incredible Cappuccino!

This morning I woke up with my mind set on searching for the perfect cappuccino.  After walking around for about an hour, I found a perfect spot among endless perfect spots.  I bellied up to the bar, faked some Italian and consumed the strongest espresso drink that has ever entered my body.(I’m still buzzing…seriously)  The server told me I was not drinking fast enough, and when I looked around he was right.  I have come to realize there are many things Italians savor with time; caffeinated beverages are not among them.  Chugging espresso and savoring food and wine…I can get into that.

More to come…
