Well, what can I say? the photos speak for themselves! don't they? very evocative! the only shame is that there are no guided tours and you have to manage on your own! Francy

Day 119 Aug 2007

I admit it...

It's true, I admit it! if I have to leave to go to any place I've never been, I get taken over by anxiety! especially if you know that what you're going there to do can change the course of your life! So what did I do? a month before the fateful competition that was held at the congress center, I had someone accompany me…since we were there, we took a little trip! seems fair, no? And what a trip! Like all things done a bit by chance, in the end it even went well for us! Beautiful landscapes and a long walk among the Roman ruins.

Truly beautiful…for the lazier ones: don't worry! with the local bus service you get to the Grotte di Catullo in no time! And above all it comes in handy if you're late for the parking meter! It's true, you're right: parking really costs a lot and the traffic wardens are lying in wait for you to be even a tiny bit late so they can slap a fine on you…but if you get the chance, go! There's also the beach, where unfortunately we didn't go due to lack of time but there will surely be a next time! by the way, for the competition we did the following month we left the day before and stayed at "Cà serena", a bed and breakfast that costs little but is very comfortable. If you're coming from far away, I recommend it!
