Being in Rome for four days now, I have completely exhausted the word “beautiful.” I’ve used it so much that I need to find another adjective that can describe what I see and feel. All I have now are my experiences through my senses in order to explain how wonderful Rome has been for me so far.<\/p>\n
First, let me say that I went on this trip trying not to have any high expectations. In doing so, I have allowed Rome to surprise me and invite me in. While walking downtown to find some great gelato, I enjoy the uneven cobblestone streets that knock me off balance and continuously make me aware of where I am walking. I feel grounded. I adore how the sun shined on me while I ate a sandwhich on some white marble steps one day, warming me during this winter season. I cannot tell you how excited I get when the cypress trees sway in the gusts of wind. Their scent lingers in my hair and I get to enjoy it over and over again as I walk back to the bus stop.<\/p>\n
The multiple water fountains around the city refresh me as I walk miles. Every time I fill up my water bottle, I feel a renewal of some sort, and am excited to walk and keep discovering the city. I have so many more miles to walk and more to see.<\/p>\n
And the food, oh the food! It’s brilliant. But the multiple dishes are not what they are without the entire presentation that makes a meal. Each dish takes its time making its way to the table. A meal could take up to three hours. Hospitality is the key to a successful dining experience, at least this is what I’ve come to believe. To top it all off, I enjoy a nice glass of wine, either bianco or rosso, and it is absolutely perfect to wash it all down. My senses are in a heaven, and I feel complete with each sip.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more! Enjoy reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
