Remembering the City

After a surprisingly easy train and tram ride from Fumicino Airport, South of Rome, I arrived in Trastevere, the district across the river that I called home for 8 weeks last year and will do the same this summer. It was amazing how comfortable I felt and how much I remembered everything. After leaving my bags at the hotel in Piazza in Piscinula, I headed to Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere. I enjoyed dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, Insalata Ricca, and started to take in the extravagance of being a very special city again. The hotel, located just behind a little Basilica, was quaint and quiet, just what I needed after the hustle and bustle of global travel.
