Video: In Love with Rome

Why am I in such a giddy mood? Because I’m in Rome, updating one of my favorite guidebooks. From spilled artichoke splatter outside the kosher restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto, to saints bullying pagans off their obelisk-capping perches, to the spritzing breeze that fountains give off as they do their Baroque song-and-dance, to the way elegant locals share their world with rumpled tourists, to soldiers hanging out at all the most romantic piazzas, to children honing their spaghetti-slurping skills in the trattoria, I take moments between sightseeing and writing to simply stroll with all my senses wide open. I hope you can, too.

This is Day 33 of my “100 Days in Europe” series. As I travel with Rick Steves’ Europe Tours, research my guidebooks, and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences in Italy, Portugal, France, Ireland, England, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland, and more. Thanks for joining me here on my blog and via Facebook.
