Like in many other large cities, the streets of Rome abound with people selling, well, all kinds of crap. But amongst the wide variety of useless things are a few gems, including roses. The flower-sellers are masters of convincing poor unsuspecting tourists to buy the in-full bloom (aka ready to die the following morning) rose that they thrust into their hands. But even though I know it is a scam and it will likely begin wilting in approximately 6 hours....
...I still can't help being a sucker for flowers. Receiving one is a lovely surprise that can easily make my night.
And a small side note - my mom and sister have just left Iowa to come visit me in Rome for a week. They'll arrive tomorrow morning and as such I shall be too busy to blog about their visit until they leave the following Monday. So have a good week - I know I will! Arrividerci!
