Things I'll Miss About Roma

I'm sure I'll add to this list, but I already know I'll miss...

*Picking up still-warm focaccia and fresh bread at the neighborhood paneficio

*Crossing the Tiber River to run errands

*Cheap (good!) wine with dinner

*Not tipping at restaurants

*Walking everywhere and not worrying about gas prices

*Gelato!

*Four course meals that last three hours

*The nuns singing in the convent next door

*The blissful ignorance that comes with not always being able to understand what people are saying

*Picnics in front of historic buildings and churches

*Going grocery shopping and calling it a workout

*To-die-for cappuccino

*Wearing flip flops into November

*Not having a computer at home

*Going to church next to a Louis Vuitton boutique

*Piazzas and accordian players

*Church bells!
