My first international trip of the year was spent in Rome, Italy, home of pizza, pasta, gelato and the most fabulous wines. Oh, right, and ancient ruins, of course.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I only spent a few days in Rome, but I walked and ate my way around the city. See, the Italians, they know how to live! Everyone is skinny, and beautiful and all about being in fashion. They also enjoy time at the dinner table, where nothing is rushed. So let\u2019s get started with this week\u2019s wrap up. Disclaimer, it\u2019s my full-time job that actually sent me to Rome for a conference. Those days were long and busy, but I evened it out with a little bit of my own free time, and obviously food.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3193\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?resize=1052%2C1272&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1052\" height=\"1272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?w=1052&amp;ssl=1 1052w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?resize=248%2C300&amp;ssl=1 248w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?resize=768%2C929&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?resize=847%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 847w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?resize=600%2C725&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.measuringcupsoptional.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_8689.jpg?resize=300%2C363&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1052px) 100vw, 1052px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival in Rome, I took the train from Rome Fiumicino Airport to the Termini Station, which was only a couple blocks from my hotel.
