One of the examples I like to use, to demonstrate why you should go the path least traveled, in explaining why it’s so important to implement this train of thought when you travel. Come with me and see what I’m talking about.

Just a couple of after thoughts here. I tend not to go negative in my posts, unless absolutely warranted, and I feel that it is here. The city of Rome is dirty. Dirty in an unsightly way. Since we enjoy walking almost everywhere, we decided to trot up this hill to see, well, where it led. As we gained a little altitude, we strolled closer to the edge of the walkway and noticed a rather large mound of glass bottles. All of them liquor bottles, wine, beer, etc. But there they sat, about 50 of them…in a big pile. There doesn’t seem to be a fully staffed clean-up crew, going around the city with carts and bins, cleaning up the unsightly areas…and there are a few. Just know that going in if you decide to go. I hope you do decide to go as, despite the refuse in Rome, that whole country of Italy will blow your socks off with its history, food and, especially, the people. Until next time…be and travel well!
