We are just a few days away from our European Cruise and thinking of it next Sunday we will be in Rome, not a bad prospect.
We return to Rome for a few days to see our friends and to visit the City, as if we did not walk it enough in all the years we live there. But Rome, Eternal Beauty has always something to show. We have our tickets to the special exhibits we wish to see on Augustus and Cleopatra, he disliked her big time unlike his uncle Julius Caesar who liked her. We will also go to see the Domus Romane a roman house under the Valentini Palace discovered and restored. Patrician house from antiquity in central Rome. Not to mention going to our favourite restaurants for Roman cuisine and great wines and real coffee.
