6/14/2018 0 Comments May 18 (pt 2)A few hours later, we made it to Rome from Florence. We were running a little late, so there was no time to refresh or rest, but thankfully most of us got some sleep on the three-hour ride.
We met in the lobby five minutes later and took the bus to Trastevere (which was very crowded), Rome Tip #1: If you can, take the Rome metro. It's faster and more comfortable. Rome is very different from Florence- it's also beautiful, but extremely busy and very crowded. Just expect that when you visit. where we were to meet our guide for the Food Tour, Dominique Barbeau. Dominique is an American who moved to Rome to pursue her dream of working and living abroad. She owns her own food walking tour business called "Foodies in Rome." We walked around the city while eating potato croquettes, grabbed pre-dinner pizza at a well-known pizzeria, drank wine and had appetizers at an osteria for apertivo, and ate family style Italian pasta (sharing plates). It was delectable. Finally, we ended our night eating Italian pastries for dessert at Torre Argentina, where Julius Caesar was murdered. Now, it's a cat sanctuary.
