Okay, when I went to Rome. I was there 3 days and it was amazing.
The End.
Hehe, I remember my first trip to the US Appalachian mountains via I-40 and some side roads. Being my first trip not taken with parents (or anyone else), I had a similar experience of awe that you describe (natural waterfalls and snow were new to this southern Florida boy). I won't describe it though, because I don't want to hurt from the wrath of Cairenn
.
Very glad to see you had a great time, I missed the catacombs and Vatican, but made to Mt V and a few of the isles (the seafood there is indescribable... oh my GOD). I also look for where the locals are when choosing a place to eat. Glad you're back though, things were falling apart at the seams

/cheer for your vacation!
/cracks whip... now back to work, you.
