Time for a sidecar and some reflection. Lots of inconveniences for us this go as we brought MIL along. I do enjoy her which seems to be rare these days, but LAWD she definitely has some health issues she needs to address before we bring her abroad again.
Next year being the Pope-a-palooza here in Rome calling for 50-80 MILLION people to visit, along with us moving halfway across the country, tells me Carnevale di Venezia will be our only trip back next year.
Though a good friend here suggested bringing groups over for 2-3 city tours. He happens to be one of the best guides in Rome, and knows some great colleagues in Firenze and Venezia.....so maybe a business opportunity in the future who knows.
Plenty to ponder as Mack the Knife plays and I sip on my sippycup in this spectacular throwback bar.
But all in all, a very happy fella having gotten to return to a spectacular country.
