Lesson 2. Remember to write this blog BEFORE a few glasses of Campari Spritz.
Rome is a beautiful capital city, putting ours to shame. The streets are vibrant and exciting, without a hint of “ah shit, are we gonna get stabbed?”. Beck found us a stunning apartment that’s over 5 centuries old and overlooking Roman rooftops as far as we can see.
Tonight we went to a trendy small plates restaurant (which is where the photo was taken). The place was bustling with only a single chef and waiter. They laughed, chatted and even enjoyed a few glasses of wine on shift - and yet the food was delicious and served swiftly. The Italians have smashed the work-life balance. We’ve got many more lessons to learn from then.
Tomorrow, we’re off the Pantheon. I promise my photos will get better.
