October was an incredible month. We loved Roma - the beautiful buildings, artwork, markets, "apertivo" (happy hour w/ free gourmet hors doerves), cappuccinos, "vino svuzo" (house wine - you can even fill a plastic bottle to a wine shop to take home!), our apartment that was walking distance to everything, our 34-hour trip to Florence, hanging out with my Dad, Matt's sister Heather and her boyfriend Will, the pizza, pasta, etc. We'll also miss the attitude of the Italians, who let nothing interfere with their fantastic food and drink - we got shooed away from a restaurant when we showed up at opening time and found the staff just beginning their lunch - with wine! They not-so-nicely told us we can come back in half an hour!
I'd write more but we're running late for our flight to Ethiopia! We'll spend 2+ weeks there before heading to Tanzania - still have some details to work out with that :) Will try update this blog with some Rome pics soon!
