Today was an interesting day. The streets are so beautiful. I just love walking and walking here. For lunch, I had Prosciutto e Melone. It was the first time I had eaten it and it was delicious! The melon was juicy and tasty, and the ham was very flavorful as well. I am going to miss the food here so much. I have also adapted some of the laid back culture here.

On our tour today, we saw many churches, but the pantheon was not open since it is a holiday. After dinner, we are going to see Michelangelo designed fireworks. The Spanish steps were…. just steps…

The churches today were interesting, but nothing compares to the view from the inside of Saint Peter’s Basilica.

The Trevi Fountain was very crowded, but I thought the architecture was cool. I also thought it was nice that the coins that people throw into the fountain are all donated to charity.

The atmosphere was amazing this evening at dinner. I love the music being played as I sit there and enjoy the breeze, the relaxation, and of course, the food. I will never get enough of the roasted potatoes.

It is strange to me that most places do not offer any salt or pepper. The food is not salted, yet it is still delicious. I tried putting some salt on my green beans today and realized that the salt in the shaker was hard as a rock. It looked as if it hadn’t been used in over fifty years!

Saving the best for last, we watched the fireworks show designed by Michelangelo. I have not seen fireworks in a long time, and it was so enjoyable. The only fireworks I see are on the Fourth of July, which is full of mosquitoes and humidity. Here, it was cool and breezy. No bugs or humidity. A bit of cigarette smoke, but that is unavoidable anywhere.

The fireworks were beautiful! It made me smile to see the bright colors in the sky. This evening was like a new mindset for me and I cannot complain. I love the leisure.

After dinner, I was sitting there enjoying the atmosphere and I realized that I was one hundred and fifty percent free of all anxieties. In that moment, I felt free, lighthearted, and most of all, my stomach felt very satisfied. Another big day tomorrow!
