Lovely postcards from a magical place. So you're off to Rome soon? I have a very good friend who was born and raised in Rome (near the Trevi fountain) and he still lives there. One of these days I'll return to that wonderful city, too. Please, oh, please take lots of photos while you're there!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday...

Merisi, the "Caffe macchiato" picture brings to mind one of my favorite movies - "Summertime" - with Kathryn Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi! She sat at one of those tables a couple times in the movie with a glass of water and a caffe.
