Rome is awesome. The architecture, the people, the street musicians (unlike in Greece, they dont just play Besame Mucho), the food! Went to see the Colliseum today which was incredible and with our ticket we got a tour of this other historical place right next door (sorry I dont remember the name....it's super famous though). Anyway, between the two tours, this Irish couple started talking to us. They were on vacation (have kids, married for 23 years, etc) and just started chatting. Partway through the tour the husband gave me his contact info and told us to contact him when we were in Ireland (totally out of the blue and super nice). Then, after the tour they took us out for drinks and pizza! We sat outside with the Colliseum in the background, the sounds of accordian music from the street performer, and two wonderful pizzas and people. It is simply amazing that people that are so kind and so honest still exist in the world. It was just perfect. I will definitely be calling them in Ireland. After all, I promised them a dinner at their favorite restaraunt.

Sad that you had to go to Rome to find out that people that kind and honest still exist.
ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing trip, and it keeps getting better!
Miss you both.
