I stopped in Rome for one night to take care of some errands.

A picnic of Gorgonzola, marmalade and baguette at the Trevi fountain was a highlight.

I’d not been to Rome for over 30yrs. It was completely unfamiliar.

Surprisingly the main attractions are quite compact, walkable.

Surprisingly the city is quite civilized. People wear the mandatory murdercycle helmets. They stop at red lights. The streets are not much littered.

Best was the Roman Forum at night. Very quiet.

The biggest surprise to me was the internet. You must log in with a passport or driver’s licence. That’s big brother.
