Rome is INSANE.

I always thought I was an "assertive" driver. These people put the fear of God into me.

Lots of Gods in fact. Every time I turn a corner I trip over something that's 2000+ years old. Nobody even seems to notice.

I am going to die by cheese. If my feet don't fall off first.

Cheese? Please tell me more about the cheese.

BC & I hit a store last night for dinner. We bought a "gorgonzola picante", which was my favourite - so sharp and crumbly it made my head pucker, a brie that was pretty much like what you'd get at home but so creamy you could spread it like butter, and a cheese BC just pointed at and can't remember the name of - rubbery in a waxy rind, with a subtle flavour. We ate them with smoked salmon and crusty bread and washed it down with a wonderful Chianti.

They put mozzerrella on everything - in the south getting Mozzerrella on your pizza means a big blob in the centre. Salata caprese is tomato served with thick slices of creamy white mozzerrella all drizzled with olive oil and oregano.

That all sounds so absolutely wonderful.
