The flight to Rome was fine, we landed at FCO terminal A, unbeknown to us our luggage went to terminal B. Took some time and a whole lot of foot work to find it. We had already started to file reports when Cris located our lost piece in another terminal. Customs was a breeze, and then into Rome. Another cabby approached and wanted 85 Euros, the cab we got charged us 57. It was quite a ride to our hotel. Roma Cassia north of the city. This hotel was also nice, down a narrow street with apartments all around. Got to the hotel, checked in and got situated. Went for a walk to find an ATM to get some more Euros, and to get the lay of the land. Found a Pizza shop, market, and a warehouse store. Now I a pro at getting veggies and such, using their one scale and tagging it. Water was a commodity that is in demand in Rome as well as the rest of Europe. In the hotel a 16oz bottle is 3Euros and at the store across the street the were 18 centavos. 100 centavos equal one Euro. Guess where we bought our water. Our first night in Rome we ate dinner at the hotel. Dinner was very good, pasta first and then the main course. No drinks this night, a bottle of San Pelligrino (10 Euros) . Too much food to have dessert. Retired to get some rest for the Vatican the next day. Rome will take another post.
