Caput Mundi?

I love Italy. Romance can be found in it's people, landscape and cuisine. You must absolutely surrender yourself to it's lure because being fussy will get you nowhere in this magnificent country. They call Rome Caput Mundi or capital of the world. Its stylish, cool and ever so relaxed way of doing things is a way of life that I envy and forever remind myself to strive to duplicate. This is a task that will take me forever to duplicate because I'm a little neurotic. And the lack of organizational structure drove me mad on my last night in Italy!

Is your train late? Normale. Why does the Trenitalia website display journeys that are no longer available? Normale. Did your departure station change without notification? Normale. The night went something like this...
