As Grant, Katie, Diego and Lainie can attest to, we have a really great little apartment in an awesome neighborhood of Rome. It's clean, modern, has tall ceilings, and its own little ancient Roman doorman. Our neighborhood also boasts two supermarkets, numerous bread and cheese shops, and the nicest butcher in the world, and all of this within walking distance. In short, we really, really love our place.
So, you can imagine our disappointment when last week our landlady told us that at the end of our contract in March she will be selling the apartment! This isn't only unfortunate for the fact that our particular place is fabulous, but moving is such a pain in the butt! To her credit, she has offered the help of a friend, some sort of housing agent, (we aren't clear on the details of his expertise) to help us find a new place. Our impending doom is still a few months off, but we are bitterly awaiting the arrival of this horrible day.
We attribute this disaster to a taco night we hosted two weekends back. All of our friends ranted and raved about how they loved our place. They totally jinxed us!
Oh well. We are off tomorrow to forget our worries for six blissful days in the world's most forgiving city. See you soon!
