Rome

I took advantage of the numerous discount airlines that fly throughout Europe and popped down to Rome for a couple days with my parents on the front end of their cruise. The warm sun and pleasant evenings were a nice respite from the UK temperatures and wind. The jasmine was in full bloom across Rome, the espressos were back to $1, and the croissants were on point. I was reminded why Rome is a highlight. Stayed a couple miles from central Rome affording an experience a little more laid back with fewer tourists in the neighborhood. The freshly made pasta was incredible in every location I tried though.

Hit a few of the major sites but tried not to run too hard.
