Oh, the culinary pleasures of traveling! It is quite warm in Rome; so what is called for in the afternoon? A very simple but delightful cup of frozen coffee. It's not ice cream but scoopable - 2 scoops even, with a portion of whipped cream on the bottom and the top, served with a spoon. Yummy, refreshing and rejuvenating!! :) The many delectable forms of coffee just keep coming!
Rome has a delight and/or surprise around every corner, it seems, and sooo much history! Naturally, I revel in the architecture both grande and vernacular. My camera is drawn to the magnificent structures and street scenes. (Just a few pics!)

Last night we went out for a walk to enjoy the sites all lit up in their finest! At night the city and it's monuments have a very different atmosphere. Rome is warm, inviting and decidedly social! The city starts to come alive at about eight. After dinner one night, around 9:00 we were treated to a shot of Limoncello. A delicious lemon liquor originating from Italy. Again yummy! Also, it was very warm and inviting of them!! So we've had tequila in Mexico, plum vodka in Poland and now Limoncello in Italy - all freebies even! Do we look like lushes? :P
At any rate, we are enjoying the "flavor" of Italy in so many ways.

Wonderful! How great that Rome is so accommodating to your night lifestyle. But Carol, we have learned to make affogatos, but I don't see how we can mimic the frozen coffee whipped cream treat. Wow! You're in heaven, aren't you?
Oh Laura, no words describe!!
