Bella Italia---it's good to be back

Bella Italia -- It's Good to be Back!

The Italians know how to do things right.

Love our hotel. Cute. Comfy. Clean. Breakfast included.

Downtown for an aperitif. An order of a beer and a glass of wine comes on a silver tray with olives, cocktail sandwiches, nuts, and two kinds of chips. No extra charge. Also no extra charge for the decor--ornate ceilings and rich wood detail. Lace cloth. Good conversation. We agree that we don't tire of talking to each other.

Walk in the rain past Renaissance architecture and a Roman amphitheatre. Leather boots in store windows. Italian leather. Fall fashions. Nubby sweaters and narrow pants. Italian fashions. Bellissimo.

Doesn't even matter that it's still raining. Bella Italia. Good to be back.
