One last day in Italy. One last visit to the Vatican. One last stroll past the Coliseum/Trevi Foutain/Pantheon/etc. One last gelato. One last cappuccino (actually Im quite certain that we will have another tomorrow morning). One last pizza. One last beer. One last night in Roma.
Tonight we will sleep in a room, with 10 other travelers, in a bunk bed built for two. We will slumber soundly as we dream of mosques, Saltans and grand bazars. Tomorrow begins a new chapter in the travel journal of Britt and Steve as we venture on to Turkey and towards the Middle East. The exact route is anything but certain and may or may not include Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Isreal, and Egypt.
I will be the first to acknowledge that we are entirely, completely, 110% unprepared for this leg of our journey, I have yet to even open the ohhhh soooo essential guidebook (despite trying very hard to find one in English not Italian). But I am also 110% confident that we will figure it out (and if we dont, well, I have travel insurance for just that occasion). I am also 110% excited... to ride a camel, to wear a headscarf, to shop in the markets, to smell the smells, to see the sights... excited beyond all words and comprehension! So excited that I could pee, but I wont.
I am getting ahead of myself. Today has been a wonderful and SUNNY day in Rome filled with wonderful old sights and even more wonderful new friends.
But, for now we are going to say `arrivederci!` to Rome.
It really has been a slice.
p.s.
Prego.
