When in Rome......
by paulapes
You know that old saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do?" ...... well it's absolutely positively true. This is especially for my fellow Americans (I sound like the President!) cuz our culture is rush, rush, rush! Relax, chill out, have some wine, smile and have fun :o)
The Mouth of Truth
by unravelau
Had quite a bit of laughter at the Mouth of Truth. One sky-larker pretended to be really frightened that he might have been going to lose his hand.................he had everyone waiting in stitches while he put his hand in and hurriedly pulled it out repeatedly.
Don't know whether this young lady felt nervous about it or not really.
Funny cars
by eksvist
Italy is full the small cars, the motorbikes ... and funny cars :)
It is amazed me, how tightly they parking their little cars.
Of course most of cars were scratched. Only big and expensive cars looks like new cars, without scratches.
One year later I was possibility to ask from one Italian, why it is so ... and she explain, that the big and expencive cars are scratched too, but they owners are usually on the better economical condition and their cars be repaired as soon it is possible.

Visit Vatican
by kristinamoscow
I know this is another state, but that's what you really should do when you are in Rome. Especially St. Peter's Cathedral, the view from the top of it, and the museums are worth any traveller's time.
