Roma

     Let me just start this post by posing a questions: where the hell does Nice get off charging up to 15 euro for a bowl of carbonara; it costs like 5 euro at any given restaurant in Rome. There is no reason that there should be, what, a 200% price increase! Yeah, okay Nice, you're on the French Riviera, but can you really justify those prices in comparison to Rome, aka the former center or the WORLD, and it's not like you can really claim it costs a lot to import. I will refuse to eat any pasta dish in Nice for this day forward, unless of course, I am hungry, and I am craving pasta, and it is just more convenient to stay in France, but i'm sure there will be guilt.
 
    Anyhow, I spent the last week in Rome. If you were unable to reach me for a few day, Sean, I mean you, this is why. I will say it is probably best to visit the city after an inch of snow fall submerges the city into chaos; it makes the lines for all the sites so much shorter. So if anyone is planning on visiting Rome, I highly suggest going after some kind of natural disaster has caused disarray to disperse throughout the whole region.

   But here are my pictures. Sit tight it's a long ride.
