Rome! Stop one on the Italy adventure is Rome. Amazing food, history and architecture. The scale and age of the buildings is unimaginable. St. Peters basically is unfathomably large. The Pantheon is so impressive and to think much of the city is thousands of years old, not hundreds is hard to imagine. The food and wine was fantastic and I did keep track of what I ordered and where so we can help others In the future! I learned that there is a huge difference in quality of pastas but all of them better than what we have in the US. Espresso is a constant and much more affordable than Starbucks coffee in the US. The collection of artifacts at the Vatican would take months to see and appreciate, so trying to walk through a crowd on a 2 hour tour is a heck of a challenge. The pasta making class was fantastic and something we will now make at home. Something I really loved was many of the better restaurants identify any ingredients that were previously frozen or premade. So you know what they prepare in house! Between pasta and pizza meals, the Panini was a winner at any little cafe, the prosciutto and mozzarella are my favorite, but so many were amazing. Average step count was around 18,000 but most of the day was standing when not eating. The most expensive wine I had was $15 a glass and the cheapest was $3. There was a difference but both were very good. Dinner really does take 2-3 hours at a minimum. What questions do you have about visiting Rome?
