Dear Crowded Bus, This is an understatement. Overcrowded does not even begin to cover how full this bus was today! It was raining and everyone needed to take the bus so people were wet, smelly and way too close to me. I am not tall so when they were crowding me it was backs and chests […]

Dear Lost Gift, For about a week now I have been searching all over my room for a present that I got for someone at home with no luck. I looked in every corner, in shoes, in bags, purses and drawers and found nothing. I went out early today to shop around for an alternative […]

Dear Sistine Chapel, Yes, I finally graced the Vatican with my presence this morning! It was incredible and I got to take many photos which was great but the only place in the entire museum that you cannot take any photos is of course inside the chapel. I only had to wait in line outside […]

Comments Off on There Is No Such Thing As TOO Much Cheese and Wine…
Dear “Costco” of Rome, This place is the best! I believe that it is even larger than any Costco I have been to in the States and filled with Italian good stuff! From office supplies, olive oil, vino, cleaning products, coffee, cheese, furniture, booze, snacks and chocolate. A literal one stop for EVERYTHING and ANYTHING. My first […]

Dear Topolino Dei Denti, This, my friends is the “tooth mouse!” Something like what we have called the “Tooth Fairy.” Tommaso lost a tooth and the little topolino (mouse) left him 3 coins!

Dear “Hospital Food”, I really don’t mind the simple plain food that we have been eating since the entire house, except me, has been sick. I have never had pasta in the hospital and I don’t think that I would like it! Here at home I like the pasta; no matter what it is served […]

Dear Movie Rental in Rome, I have been wondering about this kind of place. A place to buy and rent movies or video games. I have passed by this shop many times but never went inside. They seemed to have strange hours and I was always unsure of what the huge ATM looking machines were […]

Dear Blonde Moment, Today I finally understand why all the homes have the heavy shutters that close out the world. It is not for shielding the sunlight when you take daytime naps (but also splendid for) but it is indeed for shutting out the SOUNDS of the city! Cars and buses run up and down the […]

Dear Scarves and Jackets, Enough already! Today was almost 75 degrees yet EVERYONE is still wearing a scarf and coat??? I just don’t get it. Yes, they are thinner than winter versions but do I HAVE to wear them both at all times during all weather? I swear if I see someone or even a mannequin […]
