I'm in the middle of another great trip-related book. This one is called "As the Romans Do - The Delights, Dramas, and Daily Diversions of Life in the Eternal City". It's written by an American man who moved to Rome with his family and he talks about well, yeah, all those things listed in the subtitle. I think the European way of life is going to be really interesting to observe. Patience - that will be a good thing to learn!
