These are the People in our Neighborhood, in our Neighborhood . . .

First a video of cafe life at Cafe Peru.  This place gets pretty crowded with mostly local folks - police, municipal workers, neighbors.  The barista is also not just a pretty face, he's very quick and doesn't have to write anyone's orders down.  No need to mark decaf, whip, whatever on the cup.  Oh yeah, they don't have that stuff anyway.  One morning we saw him make a couple espressos with a shot of Baileys for the police officers!

The following pics are taken all over Rome during our stay, not just where our apartment was.  I apologize for any duplicates.

This transient is stealing the waiter's tips while the signorina looks on in disbelief!

This guy has been here for years.

For a few coins this guy will stage
some delightful poses with you!

And, finally, us being funny and trying to imitate this fountain in via Giulia - Fontana del Mascherone (Fountain of the Mask).  Actually, I don't know what Scott's imitating. . .

Ciao Roma!

Well, that's all folks!  Thanks for following along and all your kind comments.  Our trip home was long but thankfully uneventful.  Although it was our best trip ever, it's good to be home.

Thanks to Briana and Kahi for watching Bella while we were gone.  I think we missed her more than she did us!
