Have you been to the Vatican? We only had a day there and it just was not enough. The art work is unbelievable. One of the many things I like about Italy is color. There's color on the buildings, there is art work, there is stuff to look at and enjoy. Have a great time.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475433199308666648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356093701102910263.post-88313207356364021372011-07-07T15:54:06.818+02:002011-07-07T15:54:06.818+02:00Lisa, That's what I liked about it too- homey....Lisa, That's what I liked about it too- homey. <br /><br />Pat, A good way to do it.

One time we stayed close to the Vatican in the Trastevere, and another time near the Jewish quarter where we had the most delicious fried baccala I've ever tasted. Rome is definitely a walkable, beautiful, city.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356093701102910263.post-68974068981140465662011-07-07T04:41:15.057+02:002011-07-07T04:41:15.057+02:00A great glimpse of real life in Rome, not just the...A great glimpse of real life in Rome, not just the tourist-y things.
