Rome was an interesting mix of ridiculously old architecture and ruins and Renaissance structure. To be honest, it was somewhat disconcerting to see such amazing structures smack dab in the middle of a busy city. We'd be walking down a busy sidewalk with cars flying by, and all of a sudden a Roman ruin would be at the street corner. The commonality that the historical sites were given made the experience appear less poignant and rare. However, the thought that Roman architecture was built hundreds of years before Christ was on earth and is still standing was boggling.
One of our favorite memories of the day was finding a quaint Italian cafe down an alley and having our first taste of authentic Italian pizza. Then we happened upon some tiramisu gelato that was to die for! Maybe it's a good thing that American ice cream is second best compared to gelato or I might be in some serious trouble!

Ok, so the sign says 'Stefanini Couture' but I thought it was close enough!
