Beautiful Honeymoon in Rome

Posted by Cindy on February 13, 2010

My husband and I spent our honeymoon in Rome, Italy and it was absolutely the most romantic two weeks of my life. Of course some people say this was partly due to the fact that it was my honeymoon and Kyle and I are so much in love that anywhere we went would be incredibly romantic, but Rome is a city without Rival. It is amazing in its beauty, architecture, art and culture and also has the feel of being the ancient city that it is. Kyle and I saw most or all of the major historic landmarks and were absolutely awed by them. Though I have to say one of the best afternoons we spent there was when we sat at this great little table in an outdoor patio café and ate pasta and drank wine during a light storm.

All of the combined factors created that fabulous afternoon. We had already been to the Colosseum, Vatican City and other major landmarks so much of the city was already present with us as we sat and enjoyed our morning coffee and pastry. That’s right, I said pasta and wine earlier, but it started with coffee and pastry. The cafe was the first place we sat down after leaving the comfort of our suite. We talked about everything we had done and will do and just as we were getting ready to leave we noticed it had started to rain. So, we sat back down and asked for more coffee.

We had one of the nicest conversations sitting there in with the lit candle and flowers, which filled the entire patio. We talked about the beauty of Sistine Chapel and the enormous talent of Michelangelo. The combined aromas were inescapably sensual and it was almost like the day was created for us. Before we knew it, it was already past lunchtime and we decided to go ahead and order some pasta. About this time an older man walked out and sat down at another table. He was the only other person out there the entire time so we didn’t feel like we had been taking up space or anything. And so the rest of the afternoon went. We talked, laughed, ate food and drank wine. Ah, that was a beautiful honeymoon.
