Roma Birthday

Just got back from Roma. It was all it was cracked up to be and there are a lot of cracks. Ha! The age of things is hard to grasp when you’re walking over a bridge that was built in 139 AD or a church in the countryside built in 200 BC.....Celebrated my birthday with my personal tour guide, Susie, her husband and a friend, who is also a TG. Went to a great seafood restaurant where the owner personally waited on us. He brought a tray with sea bass, red snapper and halibut all caught that morning…so we're looking at these whole fish on a tray - how fresh can you get? After a 10-course meal the lights in the restaurant go out - we thought it was a power outage. The owner and the waiters come in with the dessert and a candle singing, "Happy-a-Birth-a-Day-a"…and the lights go back on and everyone in the place is singing and applauding…a real Italian BD.
