We have arrived!!!



    This is our view of Rome at A View of Rome Bed and Breakfast...certainly lives up to it's name.

Ciao everybody!!  Jet lag has set in and we are recovering nicely. It was a 9 1/2 hour flight from Atlanta to Rome, lots of movie options, but we only slept for two hours. Upon our arrival there was a wave of stale cigarette smoke filling the gate...lovely. The ride to our hotel can be described as beautiful and nerve racking.  With a back drop of an ancient civilization came a flood of Volvos, Fiats, and Vespas swimming up the road like a school of salmon upstream to spawn. Although the traffic was horrific there was a gentle calm that possessed the drivers. No swearing or excessive horn blowing, just a occasional beep and a driver sighing "Mamma Mia". Our B&B is absolutely amazing with a wonderful host. We have tried to speak Italian but well then they speak back to us in English. WOMP WOMP!!!
