My honeymoon wrapped up in Rome. I got to see some really cool stuff. I saw the Colosseum, where men fought to the death for the entertainment of thousands. Thank goodness we have moved on past that – as long as you don’t count TV. My favorite shows are Game of Thrones and Walking Dead. I get pissed if 30 people don’t die each week.
We also saw the Vatican, where the art of Raphael and Michaelangelo was on display. I was looking at the ceiling in St. Peter’s so I missed the Pieta, my favorite sculpture, but I did get to see School of Athens. It’s my favorite painting, mostly because it’s on the cover of Guns N’ Roses’ Use Your Illusion albums.
After seven nights, we finally craved Mexican food. Rome has about five Mexican restaurants. We found one and it wasn’t bad, but try speaking English and ordering Mexican food off an Italian. They made a solid Margarita, but you can’t really drink too much – not that we were driving, but trying to figure out the Roman bus system is hard sober during the day. The first bus we got on called out each stop. The next six didn’t. We took the subway once also. My wife said she felt like she was being violated because it was so crowded. We couldn’t have been closer to strangers if we were on Human Centipede.
We finally flew back. There was a Euro who smelled like Chili Cheese Fritos and BO who made the flight extra tasty. At least there was free wine. I call it even. Our airline lost one bag and TSA broke a bottle of olive oil inside another, so I lost some clothes. Welcome back to America! At least here, the only pickpockets are our politicians – American’s hands are too fat to pick shit out of our own pockets.
It’s amazing how close it is to the road and how black it is. Amazing site to see and the stuff they dug up next to it
