When in Rome....
    - Stop to smell the roses (if they are in season).
    - Walk the Spanish Steps.
    - Visit the Trevi Fountain.
    - Drink a bottle of wine and eat some cheese and honey in the Piazza della Rotonda and enjoy the glow of The Pantheon.
    - SeeThe Colosseum at night.....

    - And most importantly, take time to sit back, relax, and live La Dolce Vita
