Rome’s history and quaintness
I remember arriving in Rome, the feeling of excitement and wonder. And relief, after a harrowing cab ride from the airport. At one point the driver created a 3rd lane on a 2 lane highway. We arrived to our first of our Italy hotels in the middle of the town, and got our first experience of staying in a building which has withstood the passing of time. The wood floorboards were rich in color, the elevators elegant and smooth;l my favorite part was arriving from an excursion, and facing an immense wooden door, and entering by a smaller door cut into it.
