La Dolce Vita - The Sweet Life - Day 2

"A punch in the face."  That's how one of our tour guides, Francesco,  described his first cup of espresso in the morning.

I've never been much for espresso but on this trip, I developed a taste for it.  I mean, how can you not when it is served to you in such a beautiful cup & saucer?





There are espresso bars everywhere you look in Italy.  Thankfully so.  There are two reasons why I am thankful for this.  The first - it's great espresso.  The second - when you buy an espresso - which is usually about one euro - you also get to use the water closet a.k.a. bathroom.

This was another great piece of information from yet another fantastic tour guide, Alesandro.  Since there are very few public restrooms in Italy, they charge for those they do have.  Usually one euro.  So it makes sense to stop into an espresso bar, enjoy a beverage and then use the water closet - all for one euro.

Since I've been home, I'm trying to find the right strength of coffee for my morning "punch in the face."  I haven't found it yet, but it's fun to keep trying.

Ciao ......  till the next post!
