When In Rome
The first thing you should have done is check if your hotel has wi-fi.
Which, sadly some of us neglected to do.
So it took me a day or two to find Internet access. So hello again, everyone!
Right now I am in the Friends cafe scarfing down the buffet and breaking out the iPad.
Rome has been a great adventure so far Starting with our arrival, when I, Desperate Irish Housewife, drove through Roman rush hour traffic. In the rain. With a stick shift.
Impressive,huh? All I can say is thank God for all those years driving around Long Island malls. I learned well the all important skill of avoiding eye contact when cutting someone off in traffic. Besides Italians like to yell. I like to spread a little joy.
Anyway we all survived the drive, and here we are.
DAY 1. Hang around the Campo de Fiori. Eat something then scour the open air market stalls for the all important Pope John Paul II bobble head doll. No luck. Considered buying a Pope Benedict bobble head but decided against it. Likeness not close enough.
Head over to St Peter's square. At the moment the Square looks like a construction site. Scaffolding and work crews setting upf for the big bash on Sunday, guys from Fox news taping their little bits of wisdom, mile long line to get into the basilica.

Glad you made it. Hope you brought a camera! A voice recorder would be nice, too for the blogging sessions. But my Italian is limited to about 5 words.
