Don’t fall! I was having an awful time lugging the 15 tons of “essentials that I just couldn’t live without” around the central train station in Rome. I was following signs left and right that all seemed to say Metro. I finally was on the right track however, there was a set of steps that I and my luggage had to go down. I’ve schlepped my luggage around Paris before so no problem right? Wrong! I had on slippery shoes walking down slippery steps with a carry-on bag and a 26″ suitcase. I was a free laugh waiting to happen. I slipped and fell, then I even managed to slip a few more steps after my butt landed. It was sooooo pretty for all to see. Fortunately I had on pants instead of the dress that I was traveling in when I flew into Alghero. There was a kind older gentleman who offered his hand to help me up and even carried my luggage the rest of the way down. Weirdly enough, there was a woman with a baby begging for money that I had just passed. As many have warned me, I declined. I wonder if she had some kind of vindictive mojo?<\/p>\n

Oh, well. Rome is busy, full of smokers and their smoke, sunny as hell, passionate (about everything it seems, there is always the potential for an argument). I have as yet to take any tours. I have seven days here so I will ease into the rush. I’ll tour something today and this weekend and next week. Speaking of tours, I didn’t take the boat tour. The wind never stopped whipping it up in order for them to set sail. That means I must go back to Alghero at a later date to take the tour.<\/p>\n

PS: I will be fine as hell when I return because I am walking my and someone else’s ass off. Hopefully I’ll walk theirs off first so that I can still have some of mine left. How cheeky of me…<\/p>\n
