Rome is so full of history that it is easy to be overwhelmed - imagine doing some gardening and finding a centurions helmet in your veggie patch! But we have taken it a bit easy and just wandered around the old Cite and dodged the crowds (even in November the place is packed!), the beggars, the touts, the scam artists. Food and drink and the way in which Italians do food and drink is exceptionally stylish. Sit down at a bar for a foot resting and a drink and get presented with drink and snack and watch the world go by.
Italian is vaguely improving though it is good that not many shopkeepers choose to speak much English as it forces you to dig deep.
Posting a letter here is a fraught with time danger as at home - wait forever in line to buy a stamp!
Footsore and well satisfied we move onto Riga today and a bit colder Im guessing. Its been up to about 17 degrees and sunny mostly here in Rome.
