I am down to the last few days of my 6 week stay in Rome. I am so grateful that I have had the chance to live this dream and I am very sad that it is coming to an end. When I initially set out to stay for an extended period of time I did wonder if I would end up being done with this city but I was willing to take the chance to really understand if my fascination was passing because I only spend a few days here each year or if it was more enduring. It has turned out to be enduring. I am not done with this place!

I always make lists of things I want to see and do when I travel . I have lists for many cities and countries around the world and I hope to get to them all. Of course, I always have lists for Rome. This is a city with so much to offer the traveler and very few people get to spend more than a few days here. I talk to other travelers all the time and the average time most people spend here is 3 days. Not enough, but better than nothing. They are fascinated that I have been here so many times and still find things to do. There is SO much to see and do here. If anyone is interested in getting more out of this city than the top 3-5 list, let me know. I have lots of information to share. I can also help you make the most out of a short stay as well because I recognize that most people do not have a lot of time to spend on a typical vacation.

The things I love about being here:
