this is Saturday in Tivoli after Hadrian's Villa - we ran right into the middle of their Mardi Gras Parade - the family one.... legions of female gladiator-dancers, a tribe of american indians, rather scary loud floats like this one, LOTS of confetti - i had three huge handfuls poured on me (Tony's count? zero....) ha and i was pulling confetti out of all my clothes and hair for a few days, don't quite understand how... just fun though, and cool to see a holiday in a non-touristy town. we went to the stodgy Piazza Nuevo for a wonderful Italian supper once back in Rome...
heavenly 'salad' of a dollop of REAL mozzerella cheese and surrounding tomatoes.... pasta, wine, fantastic discrete service, all outdoors on beautifully appointed tables under welcoming heat lamps... mm could handle life like that a little more often....
