The pain of saying goodbye to Rome....

moving on to other parts of the forum, a half-hearted sketch of these capitols, an appreciation for the ancient triumphal arcs, then appreciation for Italian fashion... seemed a bit more exciting the the Paris scene, actually shopping didn't compel us to buy much though, or possibly the memory of all the pasta purchased. kind of cool to promonade with the locals, although after two weeks of travel I didn't feel quite worthy of the gesture... fun just to walk and try on beautiful clothes though. One last cup of gelato, then we hit the Spanish steps again after tiring of the scene, much more lively with people crowding, sat and listened to some lovely boys with guitars, although hearing acdc mauled in a bad accent wasn't too necessary.... home again for a solid sleep and venice for me in the morning.... Rome was wonderful.....
