by day and by night. There is the noisiest restaurant in the world right below our apartment, but hopefully only on Saturday night.
So far it’s been hot and sunny but the nights have been pretty cool. Sergio Panizza is a man you should all meet. He is the rep. for the rental company here in Roma. You want a fan? Isn’t one enough? What do you mean the pots are rusty?
No stereo? As he scratches his head, suddenly unable to understand English. What to do, what to do? Can’t you shop for those things and I’ll reimburse you? I almost say yes, but my smart side says no. This side of me is often in hiding, but lately it’s been in the forefront of this adventure

Would you buy mozzarella from this woman? We did and lived to tell the tale. Actually she was very nice and her friend spoke to us in rapid fire Italian while Pat and I stared at her with mouths agape. When we realized she wouldn’t take “no comprende” as an answer, we nodded yes, yes.Take a look at those veggies. You’ve never seen anything like that in the USA.
These are the original organics. Only eat what’s in season.
More to come soon. Pat is sitting by my side being a real bb and telling me how I have to arrange this blog. I’d throw her out except she’s the only one in this group who can really read a map
Talk later….
