#BayStreetEscape

Seems like all we do lately is eat. I’m 99% sure we love Italian food but need to keep exploring until 100% confident. Will need to follow 2020 New Years resolution to trim down LOL.

Back on the famous bridge where @hisbaystreetescape purchased my wedding band. 😍this time in winter when it’s a lot less hectic and more enjoyable to window shop.

Europe in the winter is the best kept secret. No crowds, top hotels for a fraction of high season prices, and major retail discounts.

Every time I’m here: I’m stunned by its beauty.

Found a resto with flatware that matched my new festive sweater. Pasta e fagioli soup. Mmmm!!!

Replaced our entire summer wardrobe with warmer clothes after two days shopping in Roma! Off to Florence in style (IMO).

Impressed with the time we put into travelling the Middle East (6 weeks). Comparatively Italy feels like home. Only my 2nd time in Rome and even though I’m wearing all my warm clothes I packed for this trip, so happy we made this decision and have a renewed sense of adventure to explore more of Europe.

After the past 45 days in Arab countries we just needed something more familiar. So we are now in Rome. Of course we didn’t know it was a major holiday here today (Feast of the Immaculate Conception) and got stuck in crowds waiting to see the Pope. It’s not Catholicism we seek; its wine. And cheese. And pasta. We will sleep well tonight. Goodnight.
