We typically were up at 6:00 a.m. and out the door by 7:00 a.m., but we did not go to bed until 11:00 p.m. (Who wants to sleep right after a heavy meal?) Personally, I need a full eight hours sleep so an afternoon nap was the perfect solution.

After a full day of sightseeing we returned to our hotel around 3:00 p.m. This gave us plenty of time for a refreshing shower and a wonderful nap. Before dinner we enjoyed an early evening stroll, and truly experienced the Italian way of life. Speaking of dinner – oh my! The food in Italy is superb! I am still yearning for the amazing Cacio E Pepe, a perfect combination of pasta, cheese and pepper. It tastes like a grownup macaroni and cheese. Ciao, ciao!
