Today was a day that can be best said
was “Lost in translation”. That being said, even with the few
words and phrases we knew, we were able to get by on our first day in
Rome after being sent out by ourselves within an hour of our plane
landing. Going on “fumes” with 8 hours of sleep within a 48 hour
span of time, we were on a mission to:
retrieve money from a local ATM
eat lunch at an authentic
restaurant where we ordered from a menu not printed in English
capture some key footage for
B-roll and getting lost a zillion times in the process... and yes we
had a map
shake off tired feet and
eventually took a cab back to the hotel after more than 7 hours
wandering around the city to make it in time for dinner
find the best gelato the city
offered
We did it all and capped the night with
a five-course meal and all the vino (wine) one can drink. Our tummy
was thankful. Tomorrow we venture into the Tuscany region. We will
visit the small town of Assisi, the birthplace of St. Francis and the
Basilica named after the patron saint. Check out some other exciting
pictures.
