There is no better time to be in Rome than Springtime. The colors and sensations of this fantastic moment of re-birth make the city come alive. There is a certain freshness and clarity in the cool air that goes away during the hot summer months when the clouds of dust and air emissions make the city swelter. We had a bit of rain on our trip, but the kind of drizzle that only dampens and covers the city in cool moisture. I found it a “friendly rain” that didn’t dampen our spirits. Out door cafes still abound with their umbrellaed havens and the vistas of color from hundreds of people carrying their umbrellas is lovely.
