So if you've read any of my previous posts, you'd probably think life in Italy is too hard and very little fun. You'd be right, based on our experience so far.
Yesterday, Allie and I were going to get a couple pieces of pizza (Roman Style - square, not round, pick out how much you want) during our lunch break. Allie was asking me what I wanted to drink with the pizza, choices were: Coke, think 2.00 euros (11.2oz/2.25 dollars), bottled water 4 euros (1liter/4.50 dollars) or a delicious 25oz beer for 2.50 euros. I'm sure you can already figure out which one we chose.
The greatest part about the experience wasn't being able to get a beer (which is cheaper than soda) with the pizza but it was being able to drink it OUTSIDE on a bench, while we enjoyed our pizza. You can actually walk around with beer, ride the bus, the metro, and probably even drive while drinking a beer, which may, in retrospect, explain the driving habits of most Italians.
Things are looking up! Charles and Allie
