1. Rome i August - We love Roma! La vida Loca meets La dolce vita

La vida Loca meets La dolce vita in the best possible way when you are in Rome. Case in point, our taxi driver. Arriving in Rome this afternoon and anticipating the ubiquitous male, slightly overweight taxi driver, we were blown away by a leggy dark haired Italian beauty. She chauffeured us with easy, grace and charm through the madness of roman traffic.
