Ah Roma

Roma is now the Roma that I originally fell in love with. The sun blares hot during the day, and the nights are warm with the sweet smell of Jasmine filling the air. We have been out and about every night lately, slowing walking the cobble stone streets, laughing with the crowds at the street performers, and even indulging in a pasta dinner out near the Pantheon. Of course gelato is again a regular in my days as well. Accordion music fills the streets and only in Roma will a strolling violinist play while passing our front door. Last night, we met up with a bunch of friends from work. We all sat on our friend’s terrace, basking in the warm evening, drinking some Tuscan wine, laughing and talking about which direction our lives will be headed over the next few months. Around midnight, we all got the idea to go to a real discotecca which none of us have been to yet since living here. We went to a place new to us all called Testaccio, which was a street with a long row of loud, crowded discos, pumping with techno music and Italians on the prowl, which slightly reminded us of the clubs of Cabo or something we have seen before in Mexico. We had a great time dancing the night away, and before we knew it, it was 4am. Our much younger friends were getting crazy on the dance floor with slews of Italian men around them and Sean and I decided to call it a night. We had a really fun time, and I woke up this morning, craving greasy American or Mexican food. With Italian being our only option we are getting ready to head out into the heat and get some gelato. Maybe I will try a new flavor today...
