Rome: Day One

Touchdown! I have arrived in Italy. Rome! The eternal city. The holy city. Just in time for Easter. The city is alive with tourists and the faithful. Those here to relive moments from ” the Roman Holiday” and those here to be blessed.

It is a city that has merged the sacred and profane. A few steps from the Vatican one can sit in a modern McDonald’s or Hard Rock Cafe and drink and surf the internet. There is a spot marked to show Instagram worth spots and the background noise to the photoshoot is the sounds of priests reading prayers.

Due to some poor planning on my part. As I forgot to figure out how to get into the city from the Airport, we took a taxi. Which was actually, very nice considering how tired I was.

The traffic and aggressive driver lived up to their reputation. Cars swerved out of lanes and merged into them, in a complex pattern with a fierceness that is not often seen outside of race tracks.
