Wow! Rome is an incredible place. There is a real sense of ancientness. Today, for example, while wandering about we found a foot. An enormous stone foot. A small sign nearby informed us that it was a fragment of a Roman statue. Now it’s part of today’s streetscape, along with the flower boxes and Vespas parked nearby; in fact there was a small bag of dog poo beside it. And all around there are hundreds upon hundreds of similarly mind-boggling sights. No wonder the people of Rome are so cool. And the coffee is pretty decent too.
